E Komo Mai.......Hi there and welcome to Day six of the adventure that bused us to Chinatown where we spent time in and about the locals as they went about their daily routines and we spent time in the varied markets from fish to vegetables to assorted meals ....after a great time in the area we made our way to Aloha Tower (Aloha Tower was the tallest structure in Hawaii when it was completed in 1926 at a cost of $190,000. It is now the most recognized building in the state and second only to Diamond Head as Hawaii’s most famous landmark.)We strolled in about the various shops and managed to do a little shopping where I got to practice one of my favorite hobbies and that is to negotiate the price(commonly known as haggling).....after a ... read more
