Flora.

Or as Yoron calls it: pana-uru.





Funky tree roots:


Plants of dragonfruit:


And.. bananas.


And apple mangoes. If I heard that right.

And now for something completely different.

Yoron Island:


A tiny little gem of an island -- only 8 miles in diameter -- north of Okinawa. Population: 5,000. And even that number seems too high.

A view of the beach at Pricia Hotel, where we stayed.



A walk to town along the coast:


And lots of farms. Yoron grows sugar cane, among other tasty things.
