Aloha! - Sunday

I awoke this morning to the sound of loud, angry voices on the street. My first thought was that the bars much have just closed, but it was 5 a.m. Within seconds of my reaching the window to look out, police cars begin rolling up. Eventually, there were four. It got very, very quiet after they arrived!

Our room has a view of another hotel, which is perched over the ubiquitous Starbucks!

Today was a day to just hang out. We breakfasted at a lovely, tropical restaurant named the Keoni. We also took our first dip in the very crowded ocean at Waikiki Beach. The water is somewhat warm with swirls of cool and cold mixed in. The waves were gentle -- breaking much farther out than the shore. Each beach hotel has a fenced off section with its own beach chairs and umbrellas. The "Pink Palace" has pink ones, of course!
