Kakaako Waterfront

.

Recent stroll through the park, first time. Had no clue there was so much there. Huge area along the waterfront, lots of grass and a interesting Ehime Maru memorial.

Husky?

Gotta be I guess, look at those eyes!  Nice to see Kevin, Dawn, Kenny & Sam

Party Time

Russ, that man knows how to throw a party!  Made me think "Why didn't I do that?"  Fun time.  Good friends, great good, champagne, wines, ports & cigars.

94' Magnum!  Whoa!

another good one

Mimasuya

Tried a new restaurant for V-day.  Mimasuya in Uraku Tower.  Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.  Gotta go back for some pasta or risotto someday.

famous in Kyoto

Duck, tea-infused veggies, Ahi w/salsa

kabocha soup

Salmon & scallops were good, Saiko's beef maybe better

Mid-pac

According to Dwight in the pro shop I hadn't played since Oct. 23!  Broke 50 for 9 holes and dominated the 19th!  Good fun.

Hitoshi

Nice having Saiko's brother in town, if only for a few days.  Surfed Tracks & Concessions, ate at 53, & Mariposa, toured Tantalus, hung at Waikiki.  Great weekend.

53 by the Sea

Unbelievably nice place.  Food was good but the view and the service were where it's at.

seafood stew was the bomb

Saiko's risotto
