Monday

Woah woah! Today was quite the day: Paul Smith drove us way up into the island, so we got to see a much different part of Okinawa than just Naha city! His friend Noski (spelling totally wrong) joined us, so the six of us trooped up up and away!

This was one of the views we passed on our way up into the island:

We had to stop for lunch, and decided that it was time to cave and satisfy our american stomachs. We stopped by a place called Moosburger - which is hamburgers AND coffee. Couldn't get better. Here is a sign from the store, which sums it all up:

From there we went to a Pineapple Park! So crazy. We took a tour of the pineapple "farm" in these cool pineapple carts:
Cool, ne? Here are Beth and I in the Pineapple Cart:

So once you were into the park, they basically tried to sell you on as many pinepaple products as possible. There was pineapple iwne, pineapple vinegar, pineapple cake, pineapples juices, pineapple chocolate, pineapple cookies - and finally at the end: pineapple. You could taste as much as you wanted to! Here is Sensei Clarke with one of the ladies who helped with the tastings-
I never thought I would think "Man, I have eaten to many pineapple influenced products" but today I defintely did. It was alot of fun - quirky - yet every very fun.
