Nakagusuku Castle

While we were still staying at the Westpac, Joe and I adventured to Nakagusku Castle. The Castle was not too far from Camp Foster. (See pictures in the slideshow to your right).

The Castle was constructed in the 14th Century with Ryukyu limestone. The technique of building the Castle is highly regarded, as they used the limestone in (the laying of it) in three different ways. However, I'm not quite sure our pictures will do it justice.

When you're at the top of the Castle you can see both the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean, which is really breathtaking.

Joe was very excited to finally see some Banana Spiders, a rather large and toxic bug. Needless to say, I stayed away from the trees and bushes that day!

    Also, in September is the Chopped Championship - 13 previous winners will compete in a month-long championship.
