Dinner with friends in Honolulu

The way to the beach















Why Waimanalo? The beach.


The locals (our friends, the folks at AAA Hawaii, and others) have been consistent in their questioning looks and queries: Why Waimanalo? Well, Chris' friend suggested it and we found a place using the internet, and so we are here. It is quiet; it is reasonably priced; the parking is good; it's in a quiet neighborhood; it is NOT touristy. But the real reason is this: look at the beach. Count the people. Check out the view.

This evening we had dinner with two of Peggy's classmates from Mills. Lily and her husband, Jerry, were at our 40th reunion at Mills last fall; we hadn't seen Lyn since we were last here in 1988. We met at Lyn's home which is located on a hill to the east of the University of Hawaii. Driving there reminded us of the drive up to Twin Peaks in San Francisco. Sitting on Lyn's deck, catching up with friends from our youth, while looking at a spectacular view of Honolulu was bliss.
