I would like to say that I have arrived safe and sound to the beautiful island of Okinawa. Ever since hitting the ground, I have hit the ground running with orientation and touring the island. Today, church was canceled due to a typhoon so we are lazying around the house while the wind violently churns.
Some highlights~
Beautiful view on the north side of island at Okinawa Expo Park. This place was huge and consisted of free dolphin shows, free viewing and of turtles and manatee's, a replicated old Okinawan village, a planetarium, and one of the largest tanked aquarium in the world.
We also went to Pineapple park where we rode a self driving golf cart decorated yellow for pineapple around a track to learn about how pineapples are gown and the different kinds. We then walked through and area where we could taste all different kinds of pineapple flavored products from wine to cookies.
This is the sky the night before the typhoon hit. It's so purple! This was taken from my balcony. The long building on the right is the school and the blue beyond the lights is the ocean.
Till next time!
