Fukushen Garden

 

{asian architecture doooeesn't quite fit my 6'6 honey..}

{blast. they saw me.  they were sooooo cute}

on a little trip down south to Naha, we visited this traditional chinese garden and learned that its less about the actual garden and much more about the architecture... which is so very foreign. 

but that's part of what makes this island so fascinating and exciting to explore.

there's so much to love about this place. 

from our fave restaurant owners who make us drink sake with them, to our other faves who surprised us with tangerines from their home.

to being called into an interview when there was no job, just because the woman wanted to meet and talk.. she brought her four sisters, they made me tea and we talked for over two hours!

to the precious 5 year olds that skip and sing as they walk home everyday all by themselves because it's really that safe here. 

to our awesome neighbor who slowed his bongo truck next to me yesterday and cracking up, moved his arms like he was running with me.

the island is soo gorgeous, but it just wouldn't be as fantastic without its warm, goofy and loveable people.
