Yes, "I LOVE OKINAWA, WE LOVE OKINAWA!" was our cheer. This lovely Sunday morning, I hopped in the car with a self-diagnosed "lanky Brit" named Yvonne and zipped an hour up north to Malibu Beach, to participate in the last O.C.E.A.N. Okinawa Beach Cleanup of 2006! Our fellow newbie JET, Jenna-from-Hawaii, is always actively trying to get other JETs to come to beach cleanups... which they never do because they are always too hungover. Shame on YOU ALL! Of the many who promised, but Joyce, Yvonne, Jaimee and Jess came through! Please, give us more free hotdogs!!!!!
After a heart-filled group cheer (one more time? "I LOVE OKINAWA, WE LOVE OKINAWA!") we set out for 1.5 hours of cruising the beach with our tongs, gloves, trash bags and good company. After that, about 25 volunteers rejoiced with hotdogs, beers, and new-found feelings of Good Doing. Next time, fellow JETers, next time.
