I realize that we haven't updated you on travels since January - so sorry about that. Please allow this hobbit to bring you up to speed on a few of our adventures!Well, back in the winter time peach coke was totally a thing - and it was fantastic. I actually miss it. However, it's probably good for my waistline that it was seasonal.
Drinking different flavored sodas wasn't our only activity this past winter. We also visited Nakijin Castle Ruins to see the Cherry Blossoms!
This was such a surreal experience for me! Having lived near Washington
D.C. most of my life, I do not remember visiting the city to see the
Cherry Blossoms bloom - ya know, the ones that were gifted to us from
the Japan? 
Yet, here I am in Okinawa, thousands of miles away from my home, finally seeing Cherry Blossoms - Sakura - bloom. It was an incredible experience and the blossoms were beautiful!
Another point to mention about this outing is the castle itself. Nakijin Castle Ruins is a lovely spot to visit. There is ample parking and several souvenir and food shops. The path to walk around the castle park is well cared for and fairly easy to follow while allowing a few opportunities to freely wonder. Whether it's Cherry Blossom season or not, I highly recommend visiting Nakijin Castle Ruins for a day out in Okinawa.
*This spot in pet friendly. Parking is free. Take Yen for vendors.*
