The rich, bold colors reeled me in to take it's picture.  Not knowing what variety of flower it was, I leaned in closer.  Upon inspection, I found out that it's FAKE!  My Bad!  "The Walking Hawaiian" was totally fooled!  Double click the picture to see for yourself!

Not looking too far on paper, I planned to finish an area, so that very soon I'll conquer the heights!  Well, with all the backtracking and my superb lack of mathematical skills, this blistering jaunt turned out to be 6.72 miles.  Talk about dragging towards the end!  Oh, well!

I've always wondered about this CRAZY graveyard between Moanalua Freeway and Kamehameha Highway.  Only today, risking life and limb walking between on-ramps and off-ramps to the Freeway did I finally find an answer.  There is only one way in and one way out, and I don't normally go that way.  You must head makai(toward the ocean) on Aiea Access Road,drive in this pull out, and leave pulling out on the other end.  I always take the on-ramp to Moanalua Freeway prior to this pull-out.  It's called, "Aiea Cemetery" and the engravings all look Japanese.

I loved the beautiful mural on "Aiea Elementary" public school and the stained glass windows on the "St. Elizabeth Catholic Church" private school.  Please double click the pictures and see the details!

An interesting business that both works on cars and feed you at the same time!  How is the food?  I don't know because I have never eaten there before.  Anybody got an opinion of the food?

Being "The Walking Hawaiian," I've learned many things.  One of them is that you CAN walk most places!  But some places can be pretty hairy!  The first picture shows a walkway right next to the freeway.  Would you want to walk there?  Not me!  The second picture shows a little walkway along Kamehameha Highway leading to the crosswalk crossing the Aiea access road.  Yes, pupule(crazy) Donna walked that!  These cars are tearing down that road.  I waited until they all passed, then crossed the street.

Okay, this one is REAL!  When I first viewed it, I thought that it might be a variety of "Umbrella plant," but, upon closer inspection, the leaf structure and bracts are very different.  I have no idea what this is, but it sure is pretty!  Have a PRETTY nice day, folks!  A Hui Hou!(Until we meet again!)
