 This is the favorite past time  for the islanders here. Even guys in their 70s are surfing & staying fit.

Here I am with my favorite desert..... a shaved ice which has shaved ice & ice cream! Yummy!! Cousin Barbara would love this!
 
To all my potato picking buddies.... here I am enjoying that Mai Tai we talked about!

Here I am standing by a Banyan Tree. Those are the roots hanging down in the background.

SURF'S UP!!! Another great day of 80 degrees F.

Here's a closer look at the bicycle built for 6. He has a music box in the middle.
 
Here are some eels. .. Dragon & Zebra. They probably look a bit different that the ones on PEI.

 Here we are at the International Marketplace that is currently under renovations but we still managed to buy a small purse & watch that promptly stopped working  5 hours after!  I love the look of the roots of this tree!
Here we are at a restaurant we found around the corner for breakfast. Where we are staying, the meals are super expensive so we opted to find an alternate source for meals.

 Take a close look at the guy on the bicycle!! He has 3 extra seats on each side of the bike (6) & it looked like an octopus going down the street! HILARIOUS!!! This is how he makes a living. Giving people rides in this contraption.
 A picture of Diamond Head Mountain in the background. Lots of people take a hike to the top. It's used quite a bit so now there's a walk-able path going to the top. We are still recovering from the flight (14 hours)  & awake for 23 hours so no hikes for us!
We love it here! We are going to meet up with a couple of gal pals on Friday for supper on Waikiki Beach before we embark on our cruise (on Saturday).  We've been watching the news here & there is some dangerously high ocean swells here on the other side of the island & supposed to be subsiding today! Thank Goodness!!! I'd hate to be bobbing around on the ocean being on the rough water.

Hawaii

From this....someone kayaking on the open area of a frozen river on PEI to....

The sandy beach of Waikiki...80 degrees...Life is good!
