Motobu in February (Expo Park's Oceanic Culture Musuem & Pizza Cafe Kajinho... again!)

Venturing north early on an overcast February weekend turned out to be a pretty good idea. We had the pleasant company of our good friends, Aaron & Masayo & their friend (now ours too) Yumiko. Our day in Motobu included some viewing of the blooming Taiwanese cherry trees on Yaedake. We walked around the festival-like row of booths & then the blossom lined streets, enjoying a few local snacks in the meantime. That was followed by a visit to Expo Park (Aaron & Masayo's first, I believe) where we checked out the Oceanic Culture Museum (our first time also, since it's only recently been opened after a long period of renovation) & the free Dolphin Show (I believe this was my 6th time to see it, I'm a seasoned critic now). At the museum we were treated to an unexpected performance of Indonesian (Bali-style) traditional musicians & dancers. It was pretty cultural looking. The final & most tasty part of the day was a yummy pizza & salad meal at Pizza Cafe Kajinho (aka "Pizza In The Sky"; yes, we've stopped counting the number of times we've been & number of friends we've introduced it to). Highlighted in our photographic memoirs are some performances by an Indonesian dance & music group inside the Oceanic Culture Museum, as well as just a few more shots at Kajinho.
