Today we had lunch with Aunt Jo at Pohai Nani, the retirement community where she lives. They served hamburgers, broccoli quiche, a variety of sandwiches, and a variety of desserts. After that, we drove past some of the historic buildings in Honolulu: the State Capitol, I'olani Palace and its Armory, the Judiciary Building with the famous King Kamehameha I statue, Honolulu Hale, Kawaiahao Church, and the Mission Houses Museum.
The statue of Kamehameha and the statue of Father Damien at the State Capitol are the two statues representing Hawaii in in Statuary Hall in Washington, DC.
Then we went to Ala Moana Shopping Center to finish up the souvenir shopping, and on the way home, we stopped by the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl. The photo above shows how windy it was - but we got the requisite picture of Diamond Head.
