I hope you guys enjoyed the Tokyo blogs, we had a great time and I hope we have a chance to go back before our time is up here. Now, I haven't had many comments lately, so you guys should get after it! I have no idea if anyone is even reading these things anymore! Ha ha! 
We decided to take a little tour of the oh-so-popular touristy destination of Nago Pineapple Park. Now, around here, they are BIG on tours and things are done a little differently. Rarely will you find a place that you can just wander by yourself and look around. Everything is on a "course" and I have a feeling you might get reprimanded for not staying on that course! Now while I am a push the envelope type of person, I steer clear of my rebellious ways over here because there is no telling what they will do!
After a few minutes of trying to figure out where to take our tickets, we hopped on a little golf cart with a pineapple on top, a lady pushed some buttons near the speakers in the cart and off we (slowly) went around the park. Of course it was on a track and we really weren't driving it. I believe the locals are well aware of their, uh, "driving abilities" or the lack thereof, so most of the time you're on a closed course!
Our tour guide in our personal speaker system told us how pineapples are grown and about the many different types they had here. I don't think I ever thought about how they grew, but it was really cool to see itty bitty pineapples as they were growing. 
After the short tour, we got off the cart, staying on the route of course, and headed into the tasting room. Here they bottle their own special pineapple wines and you can have a taste of the 3 types. They were surprisingly really good!!!
After that, you go into a large room with a windy path and people and food samples everywhere! I tried many varieties of pineapple cakes, chocolates and cookies. Needless to say, the $5 per person was well spent for so many snacks!
It took a while to get there and the directions and windy roads were ridiculous, but we finally made it, and this was the view we saw when we arrived!
We put our names on the list and had another couple take a picture of us. 
This is the view of the restaurant. I love how you can also sit outside and enjoy the scenery.
After a short wait, we sat down inside. Check out the menus! What a great idea!
We were pretty impressed by the food and as always, the service was impeccable. It took John a few minutes to get up, but we finally headed home. **Side note**If you plan on visiting us, start your stretching exercises now because when we go out to eat, you have a 50% chance of having to sit on the floor for your dinner!
Anyway, a few weeks ago we went on a little date and ventured up towards the northern part of the island, something we rarely do.

I have heard rave reviews about this place.
