Scenes Along Highway 58

Last week as Valerie drove our little group south to catch the ferry for Tokashiki Island, the traffic was heavy and we tended to do quite a bit of starting and stopping.  To keep from being bored, I started taking pictures of various buildings and street scenes from the car window.  This is Okinawa as it looks heading toward Naha.  I was facing the east side of the highway.

Random street scene

Blue Seal Ice Cream - very good and very common on the
island

A Pachinko Parlor - also very common on Okinawa

KFC first appeared on Okinawa when I was here originally
 -  nearly 40 years ago.
The only other fast food on the island at that time was
A&W Root Beer.
