Honolulu, My Hometown-2

---

What I like about Honolulu is the mixture of old and new, East and West, mountains and ocean, etc. During the 70's there was a rush to demolish much of Downtown older bldgs. Fortunately they had the foresight to see they were demolishing much of our history so it was curtailed. We are the home of many different ethnic restraraunts so we don't get tired of eating the same foods all the time. Chinese, Japanese, Hawaiian, Filipino, Vietnamese, Thai, Italian, Mexican, Greek restraurants are in every neighborhood. Our city has mountain ranges in the north where one can go to obtain breathtaking views from different vantage points obtaining different perpective of our city's skyline. Beaches run along the southern parts of the city.

Not the easiest site to navigate.
For some reason, enlarge image command does not work and comments entry is difficult to locate.

Are you going to add any new pictures -- or is that it?
Now the left click button works. Probably my own computer's lack of responsiveness. Finally got it to restore and now things working well again. These pictures are obviously not done with a digital camera; don't you have a digital camera?

Photos.
Yes, these photos are from a digital camera. I need first learn how to resize my photos using the resizer, because I've been having problems uploading photos. Hope to add more soon.
