They have a show at night and this guy here does the fire dance. 

It was very neat....

Climbing the Coconut Trees is not for the 

faint of heart.

cooks Italian like the Hawaiians!!

I took these pictures from a moving car while we were 

driving back from Lanikai Beach. 

After the Hike...China Town in Honolulu

After hiking Manoa Falls we went into China Town for 

breakfast...it was delicious.  Then we walked around China

Town. Here are Anna and I stopping for a refreshing shaved

ice.....yummy!!

Manoa Falls

Jacob and Anna

I met Jacob and Anna in Honolulu for dinner Friday night. 

Anna is one of my friend Melissa's good friends. She was

kind enough to show me around Honolulu. 

Anna and Jacob's apartment...note the surfboard. No home

is complete in Hawaii without at least one.

Even in an apartment Anna has managed to have a garden.

Iosepa Street, Laie - Hawaii

This is the duplex on Iosepa Street that my parents lived 

in way back in the day before I was born. It's for sale....

maybe they could move back....

Laie Hawaii Temple

I really liked the "Grand Entrance"

Pesky Pigeon!!

Lindsay and I had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory in 

Hawaii and this pigeon got real friendly. He would not 

leave us alone. At one point he ate off of my plate. I must

say I was a little more than disgusted. Dirty Birds!!

Hawaii 2008

I went to Oahu to visit my friend Lindsay....aren't we cute!!

into your speedo will be the new trend next summer...
