Surprising Fun Day

This Saturday, the only thing that Logan and me had planned was to go to the store to get toilet paper and check out a furniture store to see if they had any desks we liked. So we slept in, ate lunch and took care of our few errands. When we were done, Logan decided to try and "get lost". He didn't know where he was going but I knew where we were the whole time. haha.

After driving around for a little bit, Logan then decided he wanted to see the Pacific Ocean. You know, we see the East China Sea every day because we live on the west side of the island but it was overdue to see the east side of the island and the Pacific. So we headed that way.

As we were driving towards the coast we saw some castle ruins and decided to check them out! Turns out they were the Katsuren Castle ruins (a world heritage site) and they were free! Even though it was super windy, it had a beautiful view and was fun to hike around.

Look how thick the walls are! 

Stairs we had to go up. It was super scary because they slant down! These were not even the worst stairs we took. 

Up at the very top! There were three different levels we climbed up.

After checking the whole castle out, we headed back down the hill. Right next to the place we parked had a little ice cream shop so we ordered mango and sugar cane and then the little Japanese girl said they only had chocolate, vanilla and beni-imo. No problem, we are flexible. Chocolate and beni-imo it is then! (Beni-imo is the Japanese sweet potato flavor. Very unique and yummy!)

So what started to be a boring day turned out to be a fun adventure! I felt good all day and it was fun to get out and see some of our beautiful island!
