Kiyuna san is disturbed by my physical condition.

” Neil san, it is too hot . You must go home and rest. You look like man on T-shirt.”

I get up very early and head off to the Lily Fields of Ie Jima.

The population of Ie Jima suffered terribly during the Battle of Okinawa. Basically nearly all of them were killed. War no good.

I am here to visit the Lily Fields. Every years thousands of lilies flower on the west coast of the island. It is a very popular excursion to go to see them.

I think I am done with visiting things. Whether it be a cathedral, a shrine, a temple, a wonder of the world; I go ,”Oh that’s nice.” and then want to leave. This procedure usually takes about 10 minutes.

I catch the ferry back to the mainland. and go for lunch, which is the best part of any trip.
