Day 6. Norton family and visits to Pali and Waikiki.

Another good night's sleep and Chris says she has almost no residual effects from the fall!! The girls, Bridget and Katie, adopted Crabby and Crabette, hope they are able to continue the adventure with us.
We visited Pali lookout and then drove to Honolulu for a stroll down to Waikiki window shopping and people watching, always fun. Lunch on the beach front and then a canoe ride for Chris, Mike and Bridget - surfing seemed too challenging at least now for Chris - we have at least one more place to try. It was 40 years ago that she did it the first time on this very beach.
Next Fort DeRussy and a dip in the pool and a cold drink until the beach front Mass. This was a wonderful mixture of the native Hawaiian traditions with flowers, hula, conch shell sounding welcome and a Catholic Mass. Doubt we will see a Mass more beautiful!

  1. So glad to hear Chris is better. I knew you were worried when you mentioned EMTs! Should you buy helmets there in Hawaii before you head out for the trip? Had to have Shelly show me how to post comments here. Love and kisses to all the Nortons. We miss them!
