Cape Manzamo and Rollerslides

This beaute you're looking at here is Cape Manzamo. I was a biiiit disappointed with the weather on Saturday. But even though it was overcast, chilly and super windy, it was still just so dang gorgeous. You just can't be too mad about it. I'd like to go back when it's warmer and low tide to walk through the tide pools. So, I'll be back!

little hermit crab!!

I also had my very first rollerslide park experience on Saturday. I have to say, it was a pretty good one. Just look at that slide! It was super fun, but my bum hurt a little after. But I think it's safe to say that Japan's parks are better than America's parks.

Pops Comes to Town!

 On Sunday we got our very first visitor in Okinawa! My Dad had a business trip in Korea and so he flew out a few days early to come see us. We had lots of fun! We visited Sunset beach, went for bike rides, snorkeled Maeda Point, visited cherry blossoms in Nago and Pineapple Park. So glad he could make it here for a couple days. 

 I really love all the flowers on this island!

 Pineapple Park!

So who's next??!

January

January in Okinawa has not been too shabby. It was a bit chilly the first part of the month but this past week has been perfection. Clear skies, 70+ degrees, beautiful beaches minutes away..I really feel like I live in a little paradise out here! The sunshine is just so good for my soul. Here's some pictures from what we've (I've) been up to this past month.
