These odds and ends will finish out our trip with Erik.  What?  You didn’t recognize Erik in this picture?

Jake and Erik took a hike, following an old trail that led from Nakagusuku Castle down to Shuri.

But frankly, that’s Jake’s story so you’ll have to get the details from him.

Here are just a few highlights from Jake’s thousand pictures.

P1080624At the end of the hike, the kids and I met Jake and Erik at a playground near Shuri Castle.

P1080627There was a monument of some sort at the playground, but I have no idea what it was about.  There was a samurai, a dragon, a couple of kids, and this small praying figure.

P1080641What was recognizable at the site was a stunning example of a turtleback tomb which, a nearby plaque stated in English as well as Japanese, is apparently the oldest existing turtleback tomb on island.
