Hiking to the top of Diamond Head is not fun. Hiking Diamond Head is hard. At the top of Diamond Head you will see people crying, several people nursing injuries and a great view. I let my water bottle slide down the cement chute alongside the crazy steep stairs, that was fun to watch.
On the way to purchase a chocolate orchid for my mom we saw this cool building and thinking it was a house declared that we would like to live there. On the way back we turned to get a closer look. Turns out it is a Buddhist Monastery. The nice boy doing yard work said it was OK to walk around, go inside buildings and take pictures. It was very interesting and lovely. There was a crazy lion/turtle/dragon statue in a pond. We saw offerings of produce, melons and rice.
There was also this clever little corner with hundreds of little Buddhas. Nicki posed on the knee of one in this picture.

That Buddha picture is a trip! Was this on the property with the house you saw?
