Tsukiji Market

I made a day trip to check out Tsukiji Market on Saturday. There wasn't a lot to photograph that I haven't already photographed many times before in other markets around the world, so not many pictures below.

There are many pickled items for sale in the outer markets.


Take note that it is NOT raining. The ladies use umbrellas on sunny days as well as rainy ones. I wish I could get away with this too, but I've been told it's frowned upon when men do it.



I ate lunch at Sushi Zanami, one of two kaiten sushi places in the outer markets. It was pretty good.

Okinawa: Sunday

Took a snorkeling trip with Seasir out to the Kerama Islands. It was a fun day off exploring the reefs in three different locations. I didn't have my camera with me, so these are some photos I tracked down from others.

I got a bit of a sunburn on my head and the back of my hands.

Okinawa: Saturday

Saturday I visited the Churaumi Aquarium inside Ocean Expo Park, on the northern end of the island. Their 3 while sharks are the big attraction.


Check out how well disguised that fish is below




Walking through Bise, just north of the park.


Checking out the flight line from a high vantage point inside Kadena Air Base.


Final stop at Blue Seal in American Village for ice cream.
