Ukulele Sunday! (Day 44)

I've been anxious for the last couple days. Woke up today to some "temporary" good news! More on that on a another post...soonish.

Then, I got ready to head down to Kaka'ako Waterfront Park to check out the third annual Ukulele Picnic. Ukulele virtuosos and legends from Hawaii and Japan performed on the hilltop stage overlooking Diamond Head, Honolulu Harbor, the ocean and mountains. There was also exhibitors showing ukulele related exhibits, a wide variety of merchandise and food vendors selling really delicious food and refreshments. To read more about this picnic, check its website Ukulele Picnic in Hawaii

It was a beatiful day to be outdoors but just a little too hot for me. More photos from the picnic to share on my flickr account later tonight!

 

 

Flame On! (Day 43)

Oh....nice, my dinner is on fire...

R and I decided to have an early V-day dinner tonight at Tanaka of Tokyo. The chef cooks right at the table and one of their many tricks is the "onion volcano". He creates this by stacking onion rings of decreasing sizes, then squirting oil into the stack & lighting it. The flames shooting out of the top are pretty impressive; my photo hardly does it justice! I just wished the chef cooking at our table was a bit more talkative and entertaining. And when he did talk...it was just too soft. The food tasted good despite his lack of energy!

Remember (Day 40)

Today marks the 10-year anniversary of the Ehime Maru tragedy. On February 9, 2001, nine boys and men lost their lives when a Navy submarine surfaced beneath and rammed their Japanese fishing vessel; the Ehime Maru.

Location: Ehime Maru Memorial at Kakaako Waterfront Park

Evening Sun (Day 39)

Late evening sun in Hawaii Kai...it was kinda hazy too.

It was a busy day at the office and I couldn't wait to be all done so I could go home. Once I got home, I'd realized that I haven't taken a photo to share for today. So the Hubster and I decided to take a drive (somewhere) and ended up in Hawaii Kai. Since we were in the neighborhood, we also made a quick pit stop at Costco for some grocery shopping.
