Unforgettable Hawaii
Hawaii is the island of statues, limpid pools, smiling wahines and balmy tropical weather. Along Waikiki beach is a unique boardwalk unlike any other. It has various parkettes teeming with verdant shrubs and blazing flowers...
These Banyan trees appear grotesquely beautiful ( yes, sometimes there is beauty in ugliness ). Are there unseen elves or fairies lodging behind those gnarled roots that seep into the earth? Only your imagination could answer YES or NO.
Even the birds ( this one looks like the sparrows hanging around in my backyard ) are very friendly. Many pretty ones with red feathers approached us hoping for some morsels.
And the skies..they are so blue, sans any cloud, smog or air-borne pollutants...Blue Hawaii it is, just because of its azure skies..
Part of the scenic route along the Waikiki beach is this burial mound. We do not know who is under it. One could just think the dead are revered so much in Hawaii that nobody would dare disturb the bones of those who are in eternal repose under the ground.
Miguelita beside Mahatma Gandhi. Since Mahatma is an advocate of peace and Hawaiians by nature love peace then he is also adored and respected so much his likeness was erected in one of the parkettes.
ST. AUGUSTINE CHURCH and a marker in its front yard. Like Manila, churches could be found in commercial districts. There are numerous exclusive shops along the beach. They give balance to the over all atmosphere of the place. It is very nice to shop, but do not forget also to pay a visit to a temple of God if you see one. But to Hawaiians, they believe that God loves this island so much that He protected them from the various disasters that took place in this shimmering Paradise.----#
