 The Cultural Center was built by the Mormons, which surprised me. I had never heard of Christians doing anything other than suppress opposing religions. I'm happy to see excellent work done here. |
After supper we were given an hour break, which was good, because we were getting tired. But the night show was spectacular. With the use of fire and the dancers singing and chanting, the entire effect was mesmerizing.

As I watched the dancers I
realized that there dances were like Martial Arts
Katas. The ancient people have guaranteed that the survival
skills of the ancestors will be continued into perpetuity.

| The birds were
on the mural in the lobby of the Hoiday Inn Waikiki
Beach Hotel were we stayed.
The hotel is located at the southern end of Hotel Row, making it easy to find late at night after a walk. The image on the bottom is of Waikiki Beach looking South with our hotel at the very end of the line.
