Who knew there was a castle in Honolulu.  Apparently I didn’t, but now I am in the know!  An impromptu date day with Jon was spent enjoying the Bishop Museum https://www.bishopmuseum.org and left me knowing so much more about these Islands and the importance in remembering the legacy of the Hawaiian culture.  There was attention to detail in every turn and the memorabilia and artifacts were displayed efficiently and elegantly.  This was a beautiful way to spend an afternoon!  Starting off the day was a visit to the Planetarium to join the crew on the Hokele’a http://www.hokulea.com to learn how to navigate to Tahiti from Hawaii by the stars.  After the demonstration I actually felt as if I had a better grasp on my astronomy knowledge and could know the general direction at night now.  Then we explored the massive and beautiful Hawaiian Hall.  From the huge Sperm Whale suspended from the ceiling to the ancient Tiki’s, I was amazed at every turn and easily could have spent all day there…hmm.  After the hall we enjoyed the great lawn, gardens and the science adventure center.
