Okinawa adventures continued- Peace Memorial Park and Okinawa World

I have been to Peace Memorial Park several times, and also to Okinawa World before, and I have recorded those trips in past posts both here and on my family blog.  But this trip taken on Saturday, June 16, was special in that I got to share these special places with some Marines I work with in the Adjutant shop.

Part of the awesome crew I am blessed to serve with every day, in the observation tower overlooking the Peace Memorial Park.

Beautiful day for pictures, but beastly hot and humid.  The names memorial walls are in the center among those trees.

If you'd like to look up more about the Park, go to their website:

The Park was in the morning, and then it was off to nearby Okinawa World:

Inside the Gyokusendo, the 900+ meter cave underneath Okinawa World.  My two oldest daughters joined us for this part of the trip.

Now a couple of videos to share, one brief one inside the cave pictured above, and then another one that pretty much explains itself:

Thanks as always for checking in!  More to come as we enter the hot summer and typhoon season here on Okinawa...
