Day 3: Skate the canal , people watch

This is the canal which was very close to my place. This canal was used to drain the swampy land where Waikiki Hotels now stand. It gets dredged regularly.


Woke up early and skated the Ala Wai canal. Notice the pic of the firehouse and Diamond Head in the background. Most of the firehouses I saw had and uses an older fire Engine and always keep their bay doors open.



This guy was carving tikis in the Sheraton princess hotel Lobby. I also found a lady who hand paints bracelets so I ordered one with Elara's name on it and will pick it up tomorrow.

These are candids I caught of tourists and locals doing their thing. The one above is a guy who called a cardinal out of a tree and fed him some seeds. I really wished this pic would have came out sharp. There were a lot of exotic birds. This one is actually a mixed cardinal. Below notice the outrigger canoe and sun setting.

The picture below has two subjects. The Beautiful Moana SurfRider Hotel. And an Asian couple (notice his pink flip flops and leopard print hat.


Watched the sunset and Headed back to the Hotel to meet up with and go out with my friends.
Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole of Hawaiʻi (March 26, 1871January 7, 1922) was a prince of the reigning House of Kalākaua when the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi was overthrown by American residents in 1893. He later went on to become a politician and served in the United States Congress.
