Friday - April 17th - Chinatown

After Pearl Harbor, we were a little hungry. And what better place to fill that hunger than a little Dim Sum! Since we were in a town that - gasp! - actually had some Asians in it, we thought we might hit up Chinatown. We walked around some markets and different food stands. Finally we found a Dim Sum place. All in all we thought it was pretty tasty - way better than the so-called 'Dim Sum' in Anchorage.

We bought some Viet-wiches on the way back to our car. The plan was to take them down to the beach later for a little picnic-dinner. But we went to beach for a little sun, swim, and reading after we returned from Chinatown. And once we returned to our studio for showers, we decided just to eat on our lenai. But after dinner with hit the Waikiki strip - looking at all of the shops and people. We did manage to find a dessert - fresh mangos over shave ice. Emily loved it. She kept wanting to go back a second time, but we never did :-( Our first full day was a great way to start our vacation.
Nothing like some humbows, shu mie, and hom swi go for lunch.
Who wants some fresh catfish for dinner? You can buy them in Chinatown.

No one ever tells you how the little piggie goes to the market. But we found out: dead, gutted, and on the back of a pick-up truck.
