...Continued from yesterday:
| After we finished snorkeling Wednesday morning at Hanauma Bay (see yesterday's post), |  |
...we returned to the Hale Koa, the lobby of which was set up with the local crafts vendors who bring their wares to hotel two mornings a week.
We decided to meet up again in the lobby around noon,
…then walk into downtown Waikiki,
…and get lunch at an ABC Store.
| The ABC Store is a Honolulu-based convenience chain that sells sundries, souvenirs, Hawaiian clothes, snacks, necessities, |  |
...just about anything one might find oneself in need of.
| In Waikiki one cannot walk far without coming to an ABC Store, |  |
| ....so that it’s said that ABC stands for “All Blocks Covered.” That’s accurate. |  |
 | In Honolulu the the ABC Stores are ubiquitous. |
On Tom's and my last visit to Waikiki in 2017 we discovered an ABC Store not far from the Hale Koa,
| ...next to the Imperial Hotel on Lewers Street, |  |
...that has a wonderful deli that sells all kinds of great lunch options,
 | ...including poke bowls. A poke (pronounced "pokey") bowl is a bowl of rice topped with some combination of raw or cooked seafood and/ or vegetables. |
And so it was to this ABC Store that we headed.
| We bought our lunch from the deli counter, |  |
...then we walked back to a park next to the Hale Koa,
 | ...for a picnic, |
...of poke bowls.
