Okinawa #3

Are you excited for more!

Our hosts seem to know of all these fun places to have lunch (the lunches were great as well.)





We went to this restaurant called "Pizza in the Sky". I still marvel that they found this place. We were definitely the only foreigners there. The pizza was good - whole corn and all!




A great shot of Ie Shima (island) from the restaurant. This island had a lot of significance during the Battle of Okinawa. I will let you study that. One significant casualty was this is where Ernie Pyle was killed. He was probably the most famous WWII war correspondent.



These shots are of the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. A very cool place that, in my opinion, rivals Sea World in many areas. The inside aquarium was truly remarkable with some of the biggest fish that we have ever seen.





Here is our main wizard, Denver, getting ready to launch his "Nimbus 3000".





We just never tired of seeing Juniper smile. Now bear in mind that she would have a meltdown every once in a while, but that usually only lasted 10 minutes or so.





Beautiful sights at Hedo Point (the most northern point of the island).



Beachcombing. Patty was excited to collect shells, coral and polished glass.



Denver and Grandpa did a little exploring up a small ravine.
