Pizza in the Sky (or maybe not)- Finding Lunch After the Aquarium
Wednesday, March 1st

Following an afternoon at the aquarium we were ready for Pizza in the Sky, a place that had been highly recommended by one of DyLon's friends. With only a map to guide us - remember, the car had no English-language GPS - we set out for a great pizza experience. We got close, but didn't quite find the place and later learned why - it's really out of the way! I decided to pull over and take another look at the map. Realizing that I had pulled over into the parking lot of the local koban, and that there was a policemen right there, DyLon said, "Go ask him!" and so I did. To our surprise we ended up getting a police escort to a place that I would never have found by myself. A real surprise awaited us when we arrived: Videography by DyLon D McClary Having failed in our endeavor to eat pizza we set out to find a little hole-in-the-wall soba house. After a short drive through Motobu Town we scored! A great little place on Route 84 called Yaezen Restaurant, situated alongside the Mannawa Kawa (river). A cold drink and a piping hot soki soba set fixed us right up. Videography by DyLon D McClary We wanted a hole-in-the-wall restaurant and that's just what we found. Situated just short of the Untachi Bridge and alongside the Mannawa River it gave the place a little extra special charm. This is a nice shot that DyLon got from the bridge, looking down at the small river below. This is the restaurant's logo. We picked up a postcard with this image for a mere JY200.

One peek into the kitchen and I knew that we were in for authenticity. DyLon was telling me something but I can't remember what the heck he said. Poring over the menu and making certain that she had soki soba at the ready! Happy to be back on Okinawa.
