Elise's visit-Southeast botanical gardens

Helloooo wonderful people! so i am almost caught up with my entries....7 more till i am caught up. So i think this was like day 4..we went to the southeast botanical garden. Overall i thought this place was very pretty, but the bad part about it was you had to watch where you were going cause there were banana spiders in every corner which irked me. At one point, elise had to walk with me and hold my hand cause i was too scared to walk under them...they hang from tree to tree..pretty disgusting. Well anyways, here are some pictures from her camera since i forgot mine this day! Epic fail!

Entrance! we found it =)

Near the entrance area.

See what i am talking about???????

Elise's visit-Loisir hotel and kokusai street

WOW! it's been sooo long since i updated and i havn't even finished the entries for Elise's visit. Been busy with work and just being lazy....which is why this thing has been neglected. If i can recall, we went to this hotel called Loisir on Elise's third day here. Her mom gave her money to treat us to the buffet there. It was awesooome, and since we got there kind of late (near the end of the buffet) we got half off and we still ate like heifers. So here are a few pictures we took:

Gift shop place in the hotel...

The lobby area

Hotel napkin.

Excuse my husband...he eats like a bird. This would not happen if we had buffet with the wong brothers...


We didn't really take pictures of the buffet food, but we tried pretty much all the cool desert things they had.
This one was real tart from what i remember. The okinawa lime juice was awesome though.

Tiramisu

i think this one was sesame...it was NASTAY

rasberry stuff. This was yummy.

mango....BLEH

Green tea.


Look at her eating ALL the dessert. I put all the empty glasses in front of her to give it the effect of true heiferness.

Done for the day.

He is liking the dessert~

Damn

More goodies to look at

So after watching Tokyo drift, we wanted to try one of these things!!! Gilbert was so excited~

I didn't have my camera ready when we put the car in, but i had it ready when we were ready to leave.

Starting the car

Spinning around...

And around...

Yay~

Off to kokusai street we go!

Pretty flowers on the way there

Another one of those parking lots. Tetris with the cars...

Our car wasn't tetrised yet. haha.

Pretty cool bike we saw on the side. Reminded me of Mike D.

Flea market area.

That was pretty much what we did that day...a whole lot of walking around in the hot humid heat. Bought my parents dried bonito and tons of okinawa salt. Well that's it for now. Stay tuned for another post soon...hopefully soon....
