Three days on Oahu and already I have driven around 2/3 of the island. The pictures I will post here cannot quite capture the brilliant colors of Flamboyan and Bouganvillas, the staggering odor of Plumeria/Frangi Pani, the noise of waves, birds, and ukeleles, the taste of fresh mangoes or the feel of a light and cool mist coming from a sky with no clouds. So far, yeah, I can see why people like Hawaii. I snorkelled this morning in Hanauma Bay (and got a little burnt) and drove up this afternoon through the mountains above Honolulu. Yesterday after work in Wahiawa, I cruised past North Shore and on around the north of the island. I am learning some new words for things but not ready to use them on my blog yet, but stand by, I will. More to come This is my view from my bedroom, me at some roadside park, Hanauma Bay and a view of Waikiki and Diamond Head.
