| Laie Temple |
I needed one more trip up to Laie because the temple was closing for maintenance and wouldn't be open again until after I go back home. Harry got off at 12:30 and came up to meet me there. We thought we would go find a shrimp truck for lunch, but when he got there I suggested we take the chance to grab some fast food and finish off with ice cream or shave ice at Angel's ice cream, a favorite of the first family. Michelle Obama and her daughters had been there on the 23rd when I was there at the temple, and when I posted that on Face Book, a friend who used to live in Laie commented that I should make sure to stop by and try the ice cream there.

We ate at L&L. I had teriyaki beef sandwich with french fries, then at Angels I had a Shave Ice bowl, Pineapple, blue raspberry, and pina colada with condensed milk and coconut gel and whipped cream. The coconut gel is coconut flavored gelatin pieces the size and shape of lozenge shaped vitamin pills, It was very tasty, the shaved ice in such minute bits it was very pleasant to eat. The whole was very sweet though, and I couldn't finish it, but instead spent time taking photos of the place and the chickens and roosters wandering around.

We headed to Haleiwa on the North Shore next where we spent some time watching the waves, the surfers, and in a more protected area, paddle boarders and kayakers. We really like this historic little beach town. Even though it is crowded with tourist traffic and shoppers, it has a backwater feel to it and the beach and park are quiet and out of the way. Harry decided this would be a great place to have a boat so we can come and stay for extended periods without hotel bills. He is now searching for a small boat at a good price. It is doable.

Finally we asked a local about the road to the airfield that leads to a great spot on the point for photos. The guy at first thought we were searching for the Honolulu International airport and was incredulous at how far lost we were, but when Harry explained in detail he realized we were more in the know for local places than he had expected.
The waves and the view at the point were breathtaking.
