Tourist Stop #1

On Monday I gave Chris the Okinawa Guide book and asked him to pick a spot to go see. He chose the Nakagusuku Castle ruins, but on our way there we saw the sign for the Nakamura house and decided to take a small detour.

I am glad we did! The house and the grounds were beautiful. It was a nice walk around the original home and the inside of the house was incredible. At the end of our tour we stopped in to the gift shop to buy some fish food and were suprised to find that our tour included a small snack - Hot tea, to be sweetened with Okinawan brown sugar, and Brown Sugar gelatin dessert. Both were definitely an experience, but good :) Okinawan brown sugar is sweet, but VERY rich, a little goes a long way.

After our treat, we feed the fish then were off to find the castle grounds.
