<\/a>Ala Moana park at sunset<\/p><\/div>\n
Just a few moments before I took this, a surfer passed by that tiny gap in the break below the sun. It would have been a perfect picture. I get to keep that image in my mind. All you get is this awesome photo.<\/p>\n

Sunday was work. Man it was hot, humid, and sunny in Honolulu! Sunday night,<\/p>\n
Monday night we hiked at night partway up to M\u00c4\u0081noa Falls. It was pretty rad! Walking along, I saw a fallen flower at my feet, oo pretty. then I scanned with my flashlight to find a few more next to me… and a whole lot more! Wow, I walked right into this thing! Another spot, I was walking along and saw “something big” away to my right. I scanned with my flashlight and saw a wall of sorts about 50 yards away. And then I scanned up with the flashlight… hmm, it’s big… it’s flat… it has vines on it… scan up some more, it’s really big, and bumpy or something, 30 feet wide and scan up some more, 40 feet tall, 50, 60, what is it, 80 feet tall with branches at the top! It’s a 100 ft tall wall of a tree with multiple trunks completely covered with vines!<\/p>\n

At the mention of me going hiking at night, my host told me that was a terrible idea, I’d get killed, fall off a cliff, get mugged, or worse. I asked him what I should do instead to see Honolulu, and after 3 times of prodding, the best he could come up with was “Sit down and have a drink at a bar in Waikiki. That’s the real Hawaii.” Needless to say, I went hiking instead.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Greetings from Honolulu. That's Diamondhead behind me :-)<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>How I spent my Valentines Day. University of Hawaii beat Nevada in overtime. A good, tight game, if you like basketball.<\/p><\/div>\n
