Christmas eve surf party! Folks were out and about all day long. We got our breakfast and then went out for a walk. All along the ocean front are walkways and parks. We walked north to the "Love Park" watching dog walkers, joggers, bike riders, kids with their new presents, handicraft hawkers, Groundskeepers, surfers, soccer players and the like. We had read that Christmas Eve is the big day in South America but it seemed very busy to us.
In a wet suit and ready do dive for tasty items
Large sculpture
Too early for the folks to be laying out on the beach
The Mall across the way is in the spirit
We were not allowed down into the mall unless we show our vaccine cards
Loosing battle against the ever present dust
A big restaurant complex next to Waikiki Beach
So many beautiful flower gardens
Morning glorious
They take their surfing seriously
Abstract concrete art work
Birds of Paradise ready to fly
From this angle I took this to be a woman ina red dress. It is actually a bow and arrow
This is why the groundskeepers are out everyday
Flower beds as far as you can see
Here is one of the few pedestrian accesses to the beach. We watched a guy walk it with his surfboard
Some sexy loving is going on behind us
Insert wolf whistle here
Big foots in the love park
Mosaics all along the love park path
All directions point to love
These are the ice cream trucks.
Four types of dahlias
The flowers love this climate
I looked this up once and the regular spacing is due to wave interference along a beach with defined edges
