A small update.. Jake arrived to Kume island and is there for 10 days. Then will head to Okinawa next. He lost 11 lbs in the first few days body adjusting to little meat and small portions, but starting to gain it back and not being shy asking the chef for something more American. I felt so bad for him morning 1 he was starving. He saw a huge bowl of eggs so thought hard boiled eggs and grabbed 5 of them. He went to open it and wasn't boiled..I guess they put them in their rice. Then for breakfast had hot dogs, French fries, fish... Eek the chef saw him opening them and went and cooked him boiled eggs and said he could make him an omelette. So he is saved by that! Ha he is really enjoying the food and can eat anything unlike me.
He is really enjoying the guys a lot! He's starting to bond with a few through his enterpreter and said really great group of guys. Everyone is so kind, and accepting of him which is an answer to prayer. The hardest thing is the time change.. He has very long days during spring training so we are able to talk maybe 30 minutes when we wake up, and then 30 minutes if that later in the day so that has been the toughest part not seeing Stella.
He is throwing a bullpen tomorrow and front office has been anticipating him to throw so the media was be insane since he will be first foreigner to throw one. I'm excited for him, and know he will do great!
