For the last 3.5 weeks we've been opening the doors at 8:00am in the morning because of the heat and humidity. Today I closed them to keep me warm! I have to say it is unusual weather. It's been raining and windy for the last 2 days. And it will continue until Thursday morning. It's all due to a tropical storm off the way south east of the Islands.
I can't complain, we've had about the most perfect weather so far. Now we head for Bangkok who's daily weather report for the next 10 days is 'thunderstorms'. Welcome to Bangkok's rainy season.
Having 'lived' in Honolulu for the better part of a month my impression of the people is that they are very warm and welcoming. They smile a lot and are very polite drivers. Or as Jeff and I call it 'caring' they don't drive, they car. Jeff's a been driven a bit nuts with how slow the traffic 'cars' here and how drivers polite actions cause traffic jams. We know it's in good intentions, but when an oncoming car stops to let you do a left turn, it blocks up the traffic behind. I think it's better to let the natural flow happen and have the one person waiting to turn left wait, then only one person is inconvenienced.
Ken and Evelyn had a great vacation. I wonder what we will think of Oslo and Stockholm and St. Petersburg? I'm sure we'll get there at some point.
Ken read us some of his old journals from when he visited Oslo in 1968. It would be a cool thing to put them online with his updated ones of their most recent visit. Do a comparison between then and now.
