Sorry to the Okinawa guys who hang out here who will realize that Shima and Island are redundant.
Took the wife and kid for a couple day getaway at the Resort Hotel on Ie Shima and packed my Dahon Speed P8.
Probably only one connection I can make regarding Ie Shima for most of the readers here. Ie Shima is the island where famed WW II war correspondent Ernie Pyle was killed by sniper fire. Almost immediately a monument was constructed.
Anyway, here's my Fred'd out Speed P8 replete with big Topeak trunk bag and coffee cup (God I love that coffee cup holder).
First shot is at the Ernie Pyle memorial and second shot is at a site called "Lilly Fields". Just what it sounds like. Big public park landscaped with lots and lots of Lilly's.
Pulled two rides around the island. One on Friday. One on Saturday. Couple hours each. Good times. Good times.
