Day 1 continued

After visiting Pearl Harbor we went to the by shuttle to the Aviation Museum that is not far away and located on a military base. We were told not to take pictures on our way into the museum and for some reason I guess we just got so busy reading the history and looking at the displays that we forgot to take pictures inside.

Then we drove our rental car up to the Nuuanu Pali look out - it is north of Honolulu and higer up in the mountains. This picture of the plaque was taken by Jim on the day that they were there after we came home. The afternoon when we visited the place the wind was blowing in a gale - I feared my skirt might not stay in its proper position so I just had to grab it and hold it down. It was also much cooler up there and I wished for a sweatshirt that I didn't have with me. ( Learned right then that one should always go prepared with a sweatshirt.)

What spectacular scenery. Did it rain that time?

Probably a little - I can't remember because it happened quite often for just a few minutes. We got rain on the way back from that lookout and saw some good rainbows.
