"Bon Odori is a traditional Japanese Folk Dance performed outdoors and danced in concentric circle around a raised platform called a Yagura".

Bon dancing is a fun activity to shoot on camera as well as get out and dance along to both live and recorded music. I (and so did baby) had fun tonight dancing together, laughing and enjoying a good time with Melissa (@Melissa808), Lena, (@LenaHanson), Logan (@logieo) and a new friend, Edwina (@EMinglana). What a workout!!!

King Kamehameha Day on June 11 is a state holiday in Hawaii to honor King Kamehameha I, the Hawaiian monarch who united the islands and created the kingdom.

Celebrations began yesterday afternoon with a ceremony and lei draping at the Kamehameha statue in front of the Aliiolani Building in downtown Honolulu. The celebration continues today with a  wonderful Kamehameha Day Floral Parade through downtown Honolulu and ends at Kapiolani Park. Following the parade, the annual King Kamehameha Day Hoolaulea (celebration) will be held in the park until about 3 p.m. Lots of music and food booths will be the perfect opportunity to enjoy the multi-cultural experience that Hawaii is especially known for.

A beautiful event to think of the departed and to express one's feelings and gratitude. Lanterns float out to sea bearing messages for the departed at sunset on Memorial Day.

I was never an athlete, but I am quite sure that most sports require some form of discipline. Nice evening for a run!

Today was a busy but fun day! Earlier in the day, R and I checked out the Baby expo at the N. Blaisdell Center. Lots of vendor selling and providing informational stuff about newborms, infants and toddlers. We didn't get anything since we do not know the gender of our baby yet, but collected lots of flyers, postcards and pamplets of their services and items being sold for future reference. I'm sure we'll NEED it!

Later in the evening, I drove to Kapiolani Community College to check out the Hawaii Eisa Drum Festival...a large gathering of dance, shisa (lions) and drumming unique to Okinawa! Good times! Will post more photos from the festival soon...
