Today was a beach day. We walked to the east end of Waikiki and spent a couple of hours before it got to hot. Then we went to the Hilton Waikiki and were lucky to find a table on the patio that was right beside the beach and the water. We settled in for a few beer (longboards, of course) and lunch. There was a 4 piece band that played music, including a special song for a couple from the UK that had just been married earlier that morning. There were a number of US military vessels (a couple of destroyers, an aircraft carrier and a submarine) going by which was novel.
We thought we would buy some Japanese take-out for dinner and eat it in our hotel room but noticed a couple of small tables on the sidewalk and decided to eat right there. I practiced my konnichiwa and arigatou gozaimasu. Then a brief walk around the shops before heading back to the hotel with a bottle of Pinot Grigio.
