The Beautiful Tree In The Lobby

...Continued from previous post:     
     Below the lobby of the Hale Koa hotel,

...there is a courtyard,

...landscaped with beautiful tropical flora and fauna.

     In the center of the courtyard there is a giant tree with some kind of vines or hanging roots that cascade downward from the branches.

        I was fascinated by the tree, as I'm sure are most visitors  to the Hale Koa, and I loved looking down at it from the lobby above.

...especially at night when it was lit up with blue light.

       It's a beautiful tree.

      On Saturday morning most of the group - myself not included - left for a visit to Pearl Harbor, and when they returned on Saturday afternoon, though the sky was cloudy and overcast and the sea had turned from bright turquoise blue to grey-green,

...we opted to spend the rest of the day at the beach.

      That evening we walked into downtown Waikiki,

...to have dinner at a little ramen place,

...where the food was really good and exotic-looking.

    After dinner we strolled around town,

​...and over to the Island Vintage Shave Ice stand next to the Royal Hawaiian Center.

     Then we sat around for a while,

...then walked around for a while,

...soaking up the aura of Saturday night in Honolulu.
