Sunday in Paradise

Yesterday (after catching up with email and posting to LiveJournal), I hopped in the pool for a while, because it was very hot yesterday morning. I think that was when I got mildly sunburnt, but only mildly. Tom joined me with excellent Kona coffee.

Then we went out to a local flea market, and we all got lots of tchatchkes. (Among other things, I got a big fan I'm going to hang in the living room or dining room back in Malden.) I also got lots of munchies from one of the booths. ( li hing pineapple )

Then we came back here, picked up Hamlet, and drove to the North Shore. On the way, I got to see lots of lovely scenery. ( geography )

We ended up at a nice beach and had a walk along the sand. I got some pictures of Hamlet and Tom and Tigris (which may or may not come out well, 'cause it was too bright for me to see the screen on the camera) and some pictures of patterns in the sand and Hamlets pawprints (which probably will come out nicely).

We came back home, and then went out to a fabulous Egyptian restaurant called The Pyramids (808/737-2900). The food was excellent; I had the best Kibbe there I've ever had. The belly dancer was also great (and quite cute), but alas we got there just as she was finishing up for the night. Despite all the many wonderful things to do in Honolulu, I think I might want to persuade Tigris and Tom to go back there with me again.

This afternoon we're meeting a friend of Tom's and Tigris' from Pali Paths and her daughter at a water park. Not sure what we'll do tonight.

Having a wonderful time, and wishing my Boston peoples could be here!
