Tired. Just came home
after a two-hour walk in the hot sun in Waikiki. Hard to tell the difference between today and
any other day….. very little Christmas decorations for the
tourists. Felt like a typical Sunday.
White locals and tourists with their hobbling gate,
weathered skin, drooping bodies unbalanced by their sagging waist lines pulling
them down toward the beach sand, and overdressed Asians curiously taking in the
sites. Yes, a pretty typical day in
Waikiki.
But it was great for me, headphones tuned to 105.1 FM for really
good Hawaiian Christmas music and knowing that when I got tired and/or lost,
all I would have to do is pull out $1 and my Medicare card to get back to
Ala Moana Center in an air conditioned bus where I parked my car.
Just some of the few reminders of Christmas displayed at the
Sheraton Hotel and the Royal Hawaiian. Last
two from the International Marketplace.
