Fukushuen Gardens

Today was a beautiful day - finally. It's been raining forever it seems. Charlie and I made a date to the Fukushuen Gardens in Naha (say that 5 times fast once you figure out how to break down the syllables Fu-ku-shu-en). The grounds were gorgeous! Who would have thought this was in the middle of a bustling city?

Every tree, every flower, every rock was thought of and placed just right. It was so serene.

The buildings were a traditional Chinese design.

I loved the woodwork. There was so much detail. We stopped a moment under a gazebo and looked up. This is what we saw:

I told Charlie that I want my living room ceiling to look like this, he laughed. I can dream.

We walked hand in hand, enjoying the end of Charlie's vacation. It was a nice little get-away.
