So many others things...






Loved the beach, the weather was beautiful. Especially the days we were not at the beach:( It rained almost every morning and cleared in the afternoon. I saw the fishbowl, this is were veterans are laid to rest. Went to the Hype 50 studio and met some of the dance crew. Fireworks were fun with the kids. Found lots of cool stuff at the Flea market. There was a seal on the beach by the house for a day, he was just relaxing. Went to Waiamai Falls and Hanuama Bay, a nature reserve. Picture with the Duke in Waikiki.

Nuuanu Pali






Desi is a great tour guide! This state park has the most incredible wind by the cliff. It is said durning a battle the soldiers were either forced to fight the enemy or jump off the cliff to their death. The winds are the soldiers who jumped.


There were some tourists holding on to a sign while a friend lifted his legs to see if he could fly.

Ha





Ha means breath of life. The ancient greeting of Aloha was originally reserved for loved ones. It involved rubbing noses and inhaling each other's breath(or ha). This is considered the most heartfelt welcome and the foundation of aloha.

Ha is also a show at the Polysenian Cultural Center. It was a great love story! The cultural center has so many things to experience. There are different villages to visit such as Hawaii, Tahiti, Figi and several others. Each village has an activity for everyone to particiapate in if they choose to. I made a fish out of a palm leaf. Took a canoe ride and got rained on and watched the parade down the river.
