FISH AND MORE FISH, plus UKELELES

This morning I woke up and my pain from my shoulder is a great deal less.  It's somehow different from even before my second collision.  Between more naprosyn, additional tiger balm, and the acupuncture, the whole thing just feels different -- more flexible or something.  I'm delighted.  Still don't want to be doing any jerky motions. 

So, this morning, we decided to take a walk on the beach, and go see some fish.  We decided to go to the aquarium which is down past the zoo.  On the way, we watched a group that must have been called altecockers mit ukeleles.  A bunch of people gather and sing and play ukeleles.  They are obviously an organized group, because they all have playbooks. 

We watched for a couple of minutes, and also tried to figure out how they are doing the beach renewal, but couldn't really grasp it.  They seem to be building a wall and covering it with sand.

From there, we went to the aquarium.  They have wonderful fish and coral.  I'm adding a whole bunch of pictures of fish from the aquarium, so I won't have to buy a cheap underwater camera and try to take pictures of them later.

We spent more time than we planned, and ended up going from there to the Food truck rally.  This time we actually found it.  I think they had about 20 trucks, plus a few other vendors who just had booths.  We had more fish, in the shape of a lomi salmon taco, sliders that included fish, veggies, and beef, all with interesting accompaniments.

 We wanted to try some other stuff, but were too full.  But not too full for dessert.  For dessert we had a trifle that had chocolate pudding, coconut, and some sort of custard-type thing that I've had here before, but can't identify.  It's about the texture of a banana, rather than like custard.  Tastes of coconut.  Then there's a new treat here (one of the ones on the list of icy treats we have to try, called Onopops.  These are something like the ones the Mexicans sell from the pushcarts at home, but with a lot of island flavors.  I had one called Ginga-tantic, which had ginger, something a little salty, and lime.  It was spicy hot and really good.  John had Mexican chocolate, which was pretty boring.  On our way out, we bought some bagel balls -- one with chocolate filling, and one with peanut butter, to have for breakfast tomorrow morning. 

That means we are putting off our visit to Eggs and Things.  Here are some pictures from the food truck rally.  We went pretty early, so it wasn't too busy when we were there, but apparently it gets a lot of traffic.   I'm adding a few pictures from the event.  Check the motto on the blue truck.  I think this is possibly the Hawaii state motto. 

I'm going to try to upload a very short video again, and see what happens.  Wow, I can't believe it.  This only took about two minutes.   These are the ukelele players.
