Pali Lookout

On January 10, Lauri and I decided it was time to go see the Pali Lookout. We have driven by it numerous times, but have just never stopped. It does give a good look at Windward O‘ahu and Kāne‘ohe. It is hard to imagine what it was like when there was no tunnel or road and only a narrow footpath along the cliffside.



Self portrait - only took four tries to get us both smiling!

We continued on over to Laie and wandered around the Visitor's Center. The workmen have already begun the remodeling of the Temple. The Plumerias have all lost their leaves during the winter and they look pretty forelorn. There are a few flowers trying to come out, but the sister missionaries keep them pretty well plucked off for hair ornaments this time of year.

The nativity set is still out.

The Hibiscus are in full bloom and are gorgeous!



To end the day, we stopped by our favorite Mexican restaurant on the island in Hale‘iwa and took another self-potrait.
