From: Mika Sato To: Sarah Johnson Date: August 20 Subject: Greetings from Okinawa

Hi Sarah,

I am in Okinawa with my family now. It is so beautiful here! The sea is emerald green, and the sand is white. Yesterday, we went snorkeling and saw many colorful fish. I even saw a sea turtle swimming near me!

The food is also very special. For lunch today, I ate "Goya Champuru." It is a stir-fry dish with bitter melon, tofu, and pork. At first, I thought it was too bitter, but now I really like it.

Tomorrow, we will visit Shuri Castle. I want to learn about the history of the Ryukyu Kingdom. I will buy you a small gift there.

See you soon, Mika
