Gift #107- Sweet Potato Icecream

 A friend of mine told me that we had to try purple sweet potato ice cream while we were here in Okinawa.  Twist my arm!  You can't tell from the picture above, but the ice cream is a pretty shade of lavender and it tastes like Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole.  Dr. Oz calls the Okinawan sweet potato a "Purple Powerhouse of Nutrition" and listed it as a top Superfood in 2010.  This made me feel really good about my double scoop choice.  We might go back and get some more today- for nutrition purposes of course.

 We found a neat shopping area called American Village.  It is an outdoor shopping complex with American style clothing stores and restaurants.  We felt right at home.  We took a ride on the Ferris Wheel and got a birds-eye view of this beautiful city.

Look who is standing under the Big Dip sign.  :0)
