More pictures from Hawaii

One of the floats at the Honolulu Festival

The view of Honolulu from the rim of the  Diamond Head Crater

From the descriptions that Jay has given me of hiking in Korea, I think I approached the experience when I joined the hoard of sweating tourists climbing up to the rim of Diamond Head.

The climb to Manoa Falls was also a Korean experience.  I read that Pres. Obama likes to imagine he's back at this falls when the pressures of governing are overwhelming.  It must have been a quieter place when he was young and living near there.

This trail,  carpeted in bamboo leaves and bordered by bamboo, was quiet and lovely.

Caroline and Albert on the road to Mandalay, or is that the bumpy trail to Ka'ena Point?

The wonderful north shore of O'ahu

  1. Great photos, Jan. You've been on some spectacular walks this past year and captured so many different types of scenery with your camera.
    Hasta pronto, amiga.
