Okinawa World

We went on our first tourist adventure. We went to Okinawa World or Gyokusendo Kingdom Village and Habu Museum. The Village had a cave that we went into and saw stalactite and stalagmites. The boys were pretty much in awe the entire time down there. We walked around the village and saw them making glass and pottery but the kids weren't really into it. They did enjoy the Eisa dancers and drummers. We also went to the Habu ( a poisonous snake on Okinawa) Museum and saw ALOT of snakes (dead and alive) We spent the most time here but it was worth it. I really don't enjoy snakes that much but the boys, Joe included, couldn't get enough. They didn't want to hold any of them but Joe jumped at the chance to hold them. He did say that one of the snakes was hissing as he was holding it. The snake show was all in Japanese so we got nothing out of it, except to see more snakes. I'm sure the man was really funny because everyone in the audience was laughing (he was probably making jokes about the 4 blond Americans in the front row) Brody did get a little upset and wanted to know when the man was going to speak English or when the audience would laugh, he would turn to me and ask me what he said!! It was a fun day and would definitely go back when people come to visit- minus the snake museum for some.
