​Kalakaua Avenue

      Maybe it's the city girl in me, but I love Honolulu. Especially Waikiki. Especially the beating heart of Waikiki, Kalakaua Avenue.

          I love being among the crowds of tourists from all over the world who populate Kalakaua Avenue by day, 

...and night.

           And though the street is lined with commercial establishments from high end,

...to not as high end,

...it doesn't cost anything to go for a walk down Kalakaua Avenue, as Tom and I did most days,  taking in the sights, among them the Bank of Hawaii, doubtless the most beautiful bank building in the world;

...the sight of mountains off in the distance on one side;

...and the beach on the other;

...the frequent oases of local flora and fauna along the way;

...and the Royal Hawaiian Center, 

...among others.

       We'd often stop along the way at the Royal Hawaiian Center food court,

...for a double cream puff from the Kulu Kulu Honolulu,

...where one can find the most whimsically divine confections.                      

   
​       To me Kalakaua Street is like Fifth Avenue with palm trees,  mountains,

...and a beach.

         As far as the beach is concerned, I more enjoy snapping pictures of the ocean  than getting into it.

      And rather than sitting on the beach I much prefer walking along the beach,

...on my way, of course, to Kalakaua Avenue.
