One  surprising facet of Okinawa is the popularity of French bakeries. One of my preconceptions about Japan was that the Japanese did not eat much bread. Not so, it appears. There are three Boulangeries within striking distances of my place.  Baguettes, croissants, pains au chocolat, pains aux raisins, Proustian madeleines and loads of patisserie. Who would have thought it?

Breakfast this morning
