Pineapples and Sea Shells... Whatever!

Again, in Nago one of the things they grow is pineapples. Delicious ones, I must say. There is a place you can go to visit to see how they do it. I'm sure they are explaining how they do it and the ins-and-outs of pineapple growing while you're in the little car, but who knows. They could be saying anything as far as we are concerned. It was a pretty cool place. When you first get there you get a ride through the farms on the pineapple car. Pretty sweet ride!!!

 

Obviously, this isn't us. I couldn't get out of a self driving, gps guided vehicle to take a picture of us, now could I? But you get the drift from how cool these people look cruising around in their pineapple mobile!

 

 

There were baby pineapples everywhere. They were so cute!

 



Not nearly as cute as our driver, though. Seriously? Could he be any cuter?!

There were also other plants inside the covered greenhouses. There were bromiliads and wisteria and all sorts of cool things. Look at this little place covered in flowers. Ooooo, they smelled soooo good!

After our little cruise we let off inside a building. There was about 4 rooms just randomly filled with sea shells... I don't know how or why pineapples and seashells go together, but apparently in japan - anything goes. It was unexpected and I like that in my schedule ridden life ;)

After the sea shells there were a few tables set up with different types of pineapples to taste. All you can eat. We ate. It was delicious and juicy. Yum. Sorta like any pineapple you've had anywhere. Nothing too note worthy. A pineapple is a pineapple. There is one thing that I've never seen anywhere but here, though. Pineapple Wine. Yum! There were also tasting of this. Pineapple wine, pineapple champagne, pineapple mixed with other fruit wine. ALL sorts of things. As some you know, Jason is not allowed to drink out in town unless it is between the hours of  6-10pm during dinner. So, needless to say I did the tasting. Yum! So many to choose from. Also, there were so many other things. Cakes made out of pineapple, doughnuts made out of pineapple. T-shirts with pineapples printed on them. Just basically everything pineapple. And then that room filled with sea shells... hm...

As you can imagine we bought quite a few bottles of wine as this is one of the only places on island to buy it. We wanted to buy some for all of you people too, but they said they can't ship it to the states. I guess its just one more reason to come and visit us! Pineapple Wine (and a ride on the Pineapple Mobile). They were also selling Pineapple cream puffs. Jason loves cream puffs. So does Colton.

 

Another Japanese Park conquered. Now, let's get home and open up those bottles!
