There's nothing like "going home" to Oahu to visit our family and friends. Eleven days of blissful sunshine, a few light showers, tradewinds, blue skies, green valleys and vibrant flowers. We saw several rainbows and one double rainbow, a rare treat. Shod our white feet with slippas. Ate all our favorite local foods. Went to Long's several times. Slipped right back into pidgin. "Howzit!" "This ono!" "Where da poi?"
Clue: Water
We weren't able to hit the beaches as planned because a sewage accident made them temporarily off limits. But we thoroughly enjoyed the pool at Grandma and Grandpa's condo. The kids swam nearly every day we were there.
Clue: Humidity
On Thursday morning I ran along Ala Moana Beach. (Insert heavenly sigh.) There's nothing like running next to a gorgeous, deserted beach to start off your day. I kept thinking, this is nice. I did notice, however, that even at 6:15am it was already humid, and that my body complains about humidity. Especially when it has to run in humidity. I must be a wimp. Or just a California girl.
Clue: Gibbons
Whenever we're in the islands, we can't pass up an opportunity to visit the Honolulu Zoo. It may not be the biggest zoo around, but it is one of the most beautiful.
The entertaining Gibbons.
Elephants inspiring awe.
Following a peacock hoping to see its fan.
Admiring the colorful ti leaves.
Discovering delights along meandering paths.
Finding cool rock formations for a photo op.
Stay tuned for more photos...
