Here's another outing that Tif decided we all needed to go to. It was a 90th Anniversary celebration for the Soto Mission Zen temple in Aiea. I was surprised at how much they packed into a small courtyard. They had a little farmers market, crafts fair, muffin decorating, entertainment, watermelon eating contest, plant sale, etc. I was surprised that it was actually raining...sort of. There's a joke that you can tell who the tourists are. When it rains in Hawaii, locals keep on walking while tourists run for cover. Rain here is usually light and short in duration.
There was a huge plant sale that included pikake (Jasmine), banana trees, coleus, sunflowers, ixoras, etc.
The rummage sale was a lot of fun. It was hard to stop ourselves from buying toys for KC since she and Tif would be leaving in just 3 days. It's going to be so quiet without KC's squeals and pattering feet around the house.
There was some Japanese dancing that we saw going on in the "basement" area.
