Sans Souci Beach, Waikiki

We've come to the end of our sojurn in Hawaii Nei, and we couldn't send Lisa home without at least dipping her toes in the water at Waikiki Beach! Early this morning, (6:30 a.m., to be exact) we rolled out of the driveway to snorkel at Sans Souci Beach, at the east end of Waikiki. This little beach is adjacent to the Natatorium where Duke Kahanamoku trained for his Olympic win.

On our way home, we stopped at Leonard's bakery for the Portuguese treat of malasadas, a kind of doughnut.

Since today is mother's 93rd birthday, we had a family dinner with toasts and speeches, and mom reversed the customary gift-giving by giving each person at the table a gift!

Tomorrow we roll out at about 11 a.m. to return the rented car and head for home. We did a lot this week, and I think we all enjoyed ourselves in spite of the changeable weather.
