Hard to believe, we only have 2 more full days here! The past 2 have been alot of fun though. Monday we left our condo by 8 am to drive to Pearl Harbor - we got there about 8:35 am and got tickets for the 8:45 tour! So we went out to the Arizona Memorial, then spent some time in the museum and also over at the Bowfin area. It is always very touching and solemn to visit Pearl Harbor. We then went on to the cemetery at Punchbowl to clean the granite and tablet on the USS Minneapolis marker there. It looks very nice again now. In the afternoon we went to the beach and then at 6 pm over to Lis and Nils for dinner. Hanne and Larry were also there. Lis made a delicious Norwegian supper and we had a great visit until we left about 9:30 pm.
Today we drove up to the North Shore, explored a new spot to the west of Haleiwa where the road ends - Ka'ena Point State Park Reserve. After that we drove on our usual route, stopping at U'hukai Beach on the Banzai Pipeline. The surf was absolutely wild, and alot of surfers were out catching the big waves. We drove on around the island, and took the Like Like Highway back down into Honolulu. Tonight we went to the top of the Ilikai to Sarento's for dinner - I had the delicious spaghetti, and Steve had a penne past with homemade Italian sausage. We sat in a booth that face Diamond Head - what could be better?!! A fantastic day.
