Actually, I have always wondered about this stream, but, we are always going too fast by car to see it.  This is called the "Waiawa stream."  Waiawa means, "from the towering mountains to the brilliant sea."  Wow!  That packs a lot of meaning in one word, yeah?   Anyway, take a good look because you will never see this unless you are walking.

Still trekking through Pearl City completing 3.88 miles today.  Pearl City is composed of 4 Ahupua'a (land divisions), Waiawa, (told you the meaning already) Manana (bitter waters), Waimano (area where the lava flow meets), and Waiau (swirling beautiful waters.)  Detective Donna would assume that there are 4 streams flowing though the area with the Ahupua'a names.  I wanted to keep walking on Waiawa road (backside of Leeward Community College) but, it was a dirt road and isolated.  So, I chickened out and will try to do it when I have someone else with me.

I passed by these two monolith apartment dwellings and can't figure out how they got away with it!  There are no other buildings nearby with this eyesore height. Trying to eyeball the number of floors, I counted 45!  I'm sure that there is an interesting story behind this!

The afore mentioned Leeward Community College, (known as LCC for short) is centrally located and has beautiful views of Pearl Harbor.

For those of you who are afraid of heights, walking with me might not be a pleasant experience!  HaHa!  Hey, I don't like it either! Negotiating an overpass with 10 lanes of H-1 traffic below you is very DISORIENTING!

Although I have posted pictures of the Urban Garden Center before, this perspective is different.  On "Peace Day," I danced hula here with my classmates in celebration.  If you have never visited "UGC" before, please put it on your list of things to do.  I promise that you won't be disappointed!  Dance to a favorite tune today, and dance without abandon to feel the joy!  Aloha!(Bye!)
