Better late than never, right?! Enjoy some pictures from our getaway in Okinawa!
Dan with one of many shisa statues we saw. We especially liked this one- the shisa dog had a bowl of ramen! Also note the weather- 95 degrees and raining!
Out front of Shuri Castle
Dan at Shikinaen
Cute Hello Kitty statue!
Exploring caves
We visited the pottery museum, and walked down a pottery street. Many of the walls were made out of broken pretty pottery pieces
Dan sharing his ice cream with a shisa
Dan and I out front the war memorial
Much time was spent relaxing by the pool 🙂
Heading to Brazilian BBQ for dinner
Out front of Okinawa Land, where we learned about local snakes and saw a snake show!
We went for a hike, and it was hot out!
But was rewarded with Okinawa’s biggest waterfall!
We saw pretty sunsets on the beach!
Our last dinner in Okuma
Dan did most of the vacation planning, and what can I say? He swept me off my feet!
Our next excursion in Japan is Kyoto and Osaka! We hope to explore down south this fall in October or November. But for now, next stop is the United States! We’ll be in California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington in September!
In upcoming blog entries- Walt Disney Anniversary exhibit in Tokyo, training runs and climbing Mt. Fuji!
So beautiful! You match Hello Kitty wardrobe-wise 🙂
