The Aloha State - Day 2
Thankfully, stinky_monky gave a pretty full description (and included pictures) of yesterday's activities because my internet connect crapped out on me in the middle of my update last night and I lost what I'm sure would have earned me a Pulitzer.
Anyway, here are a few pics that she left out but I am particularly fond of:
Here's a shot of the mountains that divide the island taken in the Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden (and features our rental car, at left):
Next, another shot of the Byodo-In Temple, with the structure housing the huge gong at left:
Finally, a shot of stinky_monky in a meditative state:
After all that stuff, we went to the beach (the Kailua State Park and beach is about half a mile from the house we're staying at) and got pushed around by the waves a bit. Then we found some Chinese food and quickly passed out. It's a rough life.
