Surfer and Dolphin on Waikiki Beach |
Saturday and Sunday in Paradise - Adventures by THE BUS visiting familiar places, discovering some places like a favorite soft frozen yogurt shop no longer in business, finding another yogurt shop right in the heart of Waikiki, finishing the latest Alex Cross mystery by James Patterson, and dinner at the Poi Bowl in Ala Moana Center filled my Saturday. Today, Sunday, I made my way to worship and Sunday School at University Avenue Baptist Church just off the University of Hawaii's Manoa Campus. Worshiped along side of my friend Philip Hasha and renewed some acquaintances and made a few new. Excellent Bible study lead by Ruby O. After church Philip took me to lunch in a favorite Italian shop further up University Avenue in Manoa. Since Philip's wife Lauren was sick we rescheduled a Saturday night dinner together to this coming Wednesday night. Actually spent several hours both days relaxing in my room watching movie BOYHOOD. Hilton Hawaiian Village now charges a service fee which includes internet and DVD movie rentals from a kiosk located in each hotel tower. You play the DVD's on a PlayStation 3 which is located in every room. I've not planned any touring this visit. I will create my own activities in a relaxing "hang loose" way. I am thinking of being brave and catching THE BUS one day to travel to the North Shore to a little town named Haleiwa just to hang out and hopefully find a shrimp truck where I ate while on a LOST tour several years ago. But mainly I am just enjoying hanging out around and near the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
Here is another 20+ photos I took Saturday and Sunday.
