This photo was taken on our last night in Honolulu. On the days we took the Hop On-Hop Off tour, we discovered how close our condo was to Ala Moana Park. So, on our last night in Honolulu, we decided to take a walk over to the park. We were amazed at how easy it was. We’d expected having to deal with traffic, but there’s a bridge with a pedestrian walkway that makes the trip … [Read more...] about Friday Fotos – Waikiki at night from Ala Moana Park
