I can no longer reach the top of him! Over 6'6", three tomatoes currently growing, and many more flowers appearing. Craziness!

Where was I?

Brandon's photo entitled, "There is a light at the end of the tunnel!"
Right...the end of the cave and into the Tropical Orchards. Where we saw a variety of fruits being grown. That would have to be the first time I saw actual pineapples growing! (The pineapple in my old office doesn't count since it was never this far along)

BATS!
Monday, May 18, 2009 at 8:17AM | Post a Comment Ok, later that night after Okinawa World! we ate supper at a small place along the sea wall and watched the sunset over the sea. (Quite an amazing view)
On the way back we noticed on the building about a block from our apartment an entire colony of bats! Not just one or two, but more like twenty or thirty! They were flying around and hanging on a ledge just a few feet from a light. We figured they were most likely flying around to get the insects flying around the light and then landing back on their ledge. I will have to say I have never seen that many bats in my life in the wild! (Henry Doorly Zoo doesn't count since they were behind glass)
Either way, it was definitely and interesting way to end the night! Well I think that is all that is new for now... Until the next adventure!

Okinawa World!

We posed with girls in traditional Okinawan garb before we explored the cave. We'll definitely be going back to Okinawa World!
"This is the biggest theme park in Okinawa, making, eating, playing, and learning a variety of attractions" - quoted from the vistor's guide we picked up.

A Cow out for a walk....
Saturday, May 9, 2009 at 8:20AM | Post a Comment 
While I was waiting for cars to pull forward I saw this.
I was driving home the other day and I noticed this on the side of the road... I cannot say I've ever seen one cow being lead to its next location. The cow was well behaved with the cars driving by. You would think it was just out for a walk. Its not the first wild life I have seen on my drives home, but it has to be the most interesting.
