EAT, WALK, SWIM

Another day of my favorite things, walking, eating, and swimming.

I got up with the sun again this morning -- this is because I like the window open at night so I can see out and feel the breeze, etc., etc. and that means that as soon as the sun comes up it is shining smack in my face.  John is sleeping in the other bed farther away from the window, so it doesn't hit him. 

I took the opportunity to go for a nice long walk to the lighthouse (but not all the way up the hill, I did it on the beach) and eventually walked almost all the way to Shangri-La,

Doris Duke's house, which takes about 40 minutes to get to in a car, but about the same amount of time to walk to on the beach -- including looking for glass and shells. 

After my walk, there was

a "native Hawaiian" fair in the park, so I met John there and we did a little shopping and had a plate lunch of chicken, rice and corn.  It's very hard to get a vegetable around here, by the way. 

And then, of course, we spent the afternoon at the beach.  Life just doesn't get better than this.  I don't know how long it would take me to get tired of it. 

And finally, we met our "boys," River and Tiger, on Kalakaua.  I have looked for them every night and didn't realize they had moved down a block and across the street -- because the police asked them to move because they draw too big a crowd.  I didn't get a video, but here's a link to a video of them.  They are such good singers and players, and they just have wonderful personalities, as does their father, who is also in this video.
