Hey, this is B, posting some pics from my Feb trip to Oahu.

| Another way of thinking about island relationality, in case you get tired of your typical way of thinking about island relationality. |

| Can't resist getting a pic of rambutans in Chinatown |
 |
| Some medicines |
 |
| I liked this coat of arms |
 |
| At the beginning of a hike I took. The child is not mine. His mother was yelling at him to get out of my pic but I was in a hurry, no time to wait for him to respond to his mother's counsel. |
 |
| To prove I was there, a pic of my shadow. |
 |
| A sandy beach where I body surfed. I caught this scene in a rare moment with no breakers. |

| The missionaries' bikes in Laie. |
 |
| Thus begins a series of pics of two men trying (for some reason) to snorkel at Sharks Cove in Feb. One made it out a ways. The other kept getting pushed back on the rocks by the surf. |

| Some friends of mine |
 |
| The number of authentic examples of rongorongo writing is so limited, I didn't think I'd get to see one until, surprise, I saw one. |
 |
| The meal I attended, a fundraiser for the author I interviewed and her pilgrimage. |
 |
| A corner in Laie which, as I drove by, I realized I had visited when I was maybe four? |
 |
| The fence grows hot peppers |
 |
| When I was four, I messed around with the peppers and ended up with a stinging tongue |

Thanks for sharing these pics. One can have a really fun time on one's own to discover and rediscover at one's own pace. I especially enjoyed the pic of Kailua Beach Park (its nice that beaches/nature can stay more the same), the corner in Laie where the red peppers were (I don't remember that happening, the picture of the author you interviewed (present and past pic) and the picture of your shadow. I'm glad you got to go there and further your research on island literature.
Beautiful photos. What an awesome trip. I liked your classy take on the selfie too.
It's strange that I feel like I have been to many of those places. Who knows, perhaps I have!
