Tuesday , we drove north for about an hour to where Dan Junior is building a new church building 

 
 Rebar is laid for the foundation on a corner lot across from a park and next to an apartment house and a river.  

We visited the Pineapple Park which had pineapple stuff everywhere.  

The auto-drive cars were pineapple shaped

Did you know that there are 200 different plants in the pineapple family?  About 20 are edible, the rest, not so much. :-) 

We did not see the Okinawa Zoo, but passed by the entrance.

Henry preached in the evening at Maranatha Baptist Church

We had dinner with Pastor Navato and a few church folks at the Osaka Osho

Monday we went to the beach and rode in a glass bottom boat

The boat ride was about 20 minutes. We saw a variety of fishes and other sea critters

The sea had several shades of blue which were beautiful
