Today we moseyed around on some concrete and then over to the Hale Koa The Hale Koa is interesting in that it was constructed with funds and is dedicated to the men and women of the American Armed Forces. If you have ever read a novel where a Vietenam Vet left the front for R & R, in all likelihood they spent their time at the Hale Koa. It has a huge banyon tree in the lower court yard and an excellent restaurant … yummmmm salmon!
The path home goes right past the Asia Pacific Centre for Security Studies I always think this place is sort of spooky and I wonder if the CIA is lurking behind every palm busily taking photos – so I took one of my own.

Usually I’m not much of a flower picture taker, much preferring aircraft. However, today, one of the trees was so spectacular in it flowering it deserved a special moment.
