Around base and about town

So here for your enjoyment are 2 pics from a walk around Camp Foster, Okinawa. The high rises below are the style of building that we will be most likely to be offered should we decide to accept government housing and all the perks therein. To your right is the view from the Macaroni grill, one of the fine dining establishments near to our temporary lodging.

Its usually met with being put on hold to some delightful musac playing anything from A Whole New World or Home, Home on the Range. We continue to visit apartments and will let you know as soon as we land on something!
