Even though it was cold and windy, Michael and I drove up North to see some of the cherry blossoms! We actually went to the Nakijin-jo Castle ruins which were GORGEOUS!! It was one of our better excursions since we've been on island. We won't talk about getting kicked out of the museum because we didn't realize you had to pay but nothing was in English...whoops :)
This was in the city of Nago:
They had this random amphitheater:
This was the entrance sign to the castle (it was further North than Nago):
This was looking from the bottom of the ruins:
Up at the top we took quite a few pictures. It was too pretty not to, even if the weather wasn't the greatest :)
Cold, but loving every minute of it!
Looking down at some of the lower walls. There was a DEEP valley that dropped off after the walls:
Michael up at the very top:
Cherry blossoms!
Me eating the cherry blossoms:
Looking down at where they trained the war-horses:
A really nice little Japanese man came and took our picture for us (thank goodness for handsignals and bowing...)
Michael with the beautiful view behind him:
Another view of the lower area:
From the horse training area looking up to where we were standing:
This was a big rock and I thought it looked really cool (it was like this across the entire surface area of the rock):
Two pretty Japanese women all dressed up:
Walking down from the top of the castle:
A real picture of me and the blossoms--where I'm not eating them:
Eating delicious chicken yakitori!! We also found some yummy oranges (the ones from the commissary are gross) and giant tomatoes!
The drive off the hill had lanterns up in the cherry trees that lit the path:

Looks like it was a good time.
But when are you going to learn karate?
