So I haven't blogged in a while, largely because I haven't gone anywhere. It is when I am away from my family that I seem to have the time/make the time to document what is going on. With that being said, I somehow never posted any pictures from my August trip to OKA. That is probably because Heather went with me, so I had a welcome distraction the whole time. Anyway, here are a few pics of us in Okinawa.

This is the standard pose in front of the pineapple guy. Your hands are supposed to be like pineapple leaves. Get it? There is a picture of me to, but I like the model in this picture better.

He's everywhere!! Ahhh!!

These carts were amazing. They were just modified golf carts with half a plastic pineapple on the roof, but they had little bilingual speaker boxes and they drove themselves down a windy path while the speaker told you all about pineapples! It was cool. There wasn't any track or other connection that we could see, but they accelerated, braked and steered themselves. Very ingenious. My best guess was that they had buried a tracking cable in the ground below the track or something...

Here we are.

Heather was awesome. She struck out on her own each day while I was at work and made friends and saw stuff and took goofy pictures. She is cute. And that mannequin loves shima bananas.

Of course, now that I think about it, I also spent a week in New Jersey that didn't get blogged. Maybe I just need to catch up...
