Sesoko Island

We had originally planned to go camping this weekend but things just didn't work out that way. It was too beautiful a day to stay inside so we set out on a road trip. We ended up at the Sesoko Island, connected to Northern Nago by a bridge over a small stretch of ocean.
We got there at lower tide and were able to wade for quite a ways in the perfectly clear, blue water (although for some reason you can't really see the blue in the pictures). Alex and Lalee snorkeled for about an hour and then played 'crack the egg' with the waves for a while. Becca and Pete claimed 'coldness' and napped on the beach instead.
As a family we beach-combed looking for unique seashells and sea glass.
We made the not-so-wise choose to stop at a "Hawaiian" restaurant on the way home. We should have learned by now that we aren't overly found of Okinawaian's version of Hawaiian. Lalee stuck with Soba- one of her favorites. We do have some interesting pictures of the rest of us eating our food! I'm attempting to eat pickles seaweed- not at all appealing- it looked (and smelled) like slimy sludge. Yuck.

Becca got tricked into eating some vinegared carrots with some weird sea-animal in them. She actually swallowed it before she realized how much she didn't like it. It didn't stay swallowed. And Alex experienced fish flavored and spam flavored Tofu. Not our best eating experience. Oh well. We had a lot of fun and think we found a new favorite beach, Very peaceful and calm. The caves and scenery make it interesting for more than just swimming.

Usually we love the food. Every once in a while we strike out! And we'd love to have you visit so anytime you feel like hoping on a plane- let me know. I'll be waiting at the airport for you ;)
