Shuri Castle....

Well, I guess we haven't really gotten to tour Shuri Castle. We went on Monday while Juanpablo was off for the weekend. We looked online and couldn't find anything saying if we had to pay to go in. So, we didn't bring any yen with us....that was a rookie mistake that we won't be making again! Unlike in the U.S., they don't have ATM machines near the big tourist attractions. So, we didn't get to go in, we walked to a nearby (we were told it was a 10 min. drive and we walked) ATM but it was at a Japanese bank and was all in Japanese! No one at the bank spoke English so we went to another one that was a little farther away and that one was the same thing! So, we walked back and just checked out the outside stuff. There was lots of cool stuff to see there and we had fun exploring Okinawa while we were looking for the ATM!
