Visited Central Union Church on my last day in Hawai'i. Driving around Honolulu on the way to the Contemporary Museum for the afternoon. This was a reminder of how long there have been settlers living and worshipping in the islands.

This heiau was a long walk uphill from my friend's home in Aiea Heights on Oahu. I spent a week there with them.
