Seeing the Seaside


Sunday was another full day. Greg and I were stands in Godparents at a Baptism. Then we went out to a delicious brunch at the Butler Officer Club. Then we went to Ginowan Seaside Park. Of course our expectations were that it would be just a small park on the seawall. However, it is so much more. It's located next to the convention center and it's huge. There are multiple playing fields, where soccer games are played and some baseball fields. The convention center itself is located within the park. It is a beautiful set of three buildings, with some lovely chandeliers. Although we didn't go into the convention center since there was an event going on, we did take a peak through the windows.  The park has a playground with a small pirate ship play area and a rope bridge. It was pretty high up, but Gabriella made it across all by herself. And of course a seaside park wouldn't be complete without a beach. The beach shows that it was closed for swimming, but we did check the water temperature. It was a little on the cold side, but not as cold as San Diego oceans in the winter.  We had a great time exploring the park. We also learned that park picnics are very popular on Sundays here in Okinawa. We will have to start the tradition ourselves.
