The family at Ocean Expo ParkWe went up north to Nago this weekend to see the aquarium, more of Ocean Expo Park and the Pineapple Park. It was so hot and, of course, little Anna was with us, so we didn't last outdoors for too long, but we did get to see the aquarium. Matthew was so excited to see all the fish. Every time we go he is more interested. Anna slept most of the time which was great. We filled up on pineapple, mango, papaya and shikuwasa (Okinawa lime) at the pineapple park and even tried dragon fruit for the first time. It tasted like a very mild kiwi. We also had goya, goya juice, sugar cane and some different kelp and seaweed. We also got to have one of our favorite Japanese drinks, which so far, we have only found in Nago: Melon Cream Soda. Thanks John G. for introducing it to us. Yum! It was our first big outing with Anna and things went pretty well. We had a good time!

Sounds like a fun time. I remember eating dragon fruit from time to time in Taiwan. I found it also like mild kiwi. I bet the fresh pineapple and mangoes at the plantation were delicious.
