Lessons

I found this image on Instagram and shared it on Facebook yesterday (can’t find who made it to give him/her credit). I have been mulling over it and remembered something that happened to Ali and I during the time we had the opportunity to travel around Europe. We were in Paros, Greece and rented a 4 …

Ko Olina

Morning walk in Ko Olina. My Iphone pics: This pizza was so good and healthy. Ahi poke, lomi lomi, tomato salsa, furikake, green onions and sesame seeds. Bye, bye beautiful island.

Waimea Valley

Early morning visit to the gardens in Waimea Valley. The mosquitoes were mean. We stopped by a food truck for lunch. The chickens were hungry.

A quick ride through Waikiki. Iphone pics: My parents walking in the market. This beautiful tree was at the parking lot in Target. The flowers looked like lanterns hanging from the tree. I wished I had Sabrina with me.

Oʻahu, Hawaii

Some photos from our trip to Oʻahu (the gathering place) at the end of October. The plumerias smelled so good. Walking in Chinatown. Ali found a spot to watch the sunset, it is located in an industrial area (Barber’s Point Beach). The first 2 photos are from the parking lot. Iphone panorama pics:

Blue Ridge Parkway

We had a reservation for a Hot air balloon ride on Oct 13 but the operator called the previous night to cancel due to bad weather. It seemed that it was going to be windy. We were disappointed but decided to get up early anyway to see the sunrise. The fog was dense and we couldn’t …
