The Olive Garden

Shodoshima is a small island in the inland sea -- between Honshu and Shikoku islands
(btw, these are long sheets of somen noodles)

I don't really have much to say about the whole trip -- it was really nice. The island was the first place in Japan where olive trees were sucessfully grown, and is thusly known for their olives (and all things remotely olive-related.)


This is the Strait of Dofuchu -- the worlds smallest navigable strait (Hey, it's even in the Guiness Book of World Records...)


and here's me at the peace statue.

peaceful indeed.
