4/27/2009 Evening

Our apartment has no ocean view. But it is located at a great location! It’s only two blocks away from Waikiki beach.

Radim and I decided to go check out the beach before sunset. Karan was too pooped out from work that he couldn’t get out of bed to join us.

The weather was breezy and not humid (I wasn’t sweating!).

Waikiki beach has a different feel than Miami beach. I think the difference is in the people and the local culture. Most of the people here are so polite and happy. In Miami, I saw ladies running around in high heels, sexy clothes, makeup, etc. Not so much in Waikiki.

I didn’t want to take the time to go to the quieter part of Waikiki. So, I just went straight down the road and in five minutes, I was at the beach.

Oh boy! Soft sand, clear sky, not-so-hot-not-so-cold weather (another word for this kinda weather is “PERFECT”), island music in the background,… How could I not love this?

Surf boards are available for rent at Waikiki Beach

How much is the surf board rental rate? You would have to ask Radim. I wasn’t paying attention. I was too busy posing.

Radim was like a big kid in a candy store. He went for a swim since it was too late to rent a surf board.

I laid my towel down on the beach and just tried to take in the view and feel. It was really, really relaxing!!

There were quite a few people on the beach, but not overly crowded. Not one was shouting or being obnoxious. The beach wasn’t noisy at all!

Appreciating sunset

Capturing the sunset

More people …

I got sick of people blocking my view. So, I just laid down, closed my eyes, and be in the moment.

I called Karan and asked him to come out. Too bad that he was still too tired!!! Bummer! 🙁

Radim came back from the swim and we joined the photography crowd just before the sun went down.

Me, me, me! with the sun!

More!!!

And MORE!!!

Aloha!!

What an amazing and intoxicating sunset!!

Sunset, like wine, can get you drunk!

Going, going, going….

Beautiful pink clouds – reflection of the sunset

Almost gone …

Palm tree reaches for the moon

Nice stroll on the beach

Restaurant on the beach. I tried to pick up a tiki torch, and …

offered Radim to the Waikiki God. Wahahaha!
