South Shore, Oahu

Waikiki has a completely different atmosphere. The traffic, the people, and the commercialization, all seem to appear out of nowhere. I went from the seclusion of the north shore to the metropolis beach of Waikiki. It is beautiful, even though it was a little chilly when I arrived...Now that I'm not in New York anymore, 60 and overcast feels chilly to me. I really need to get back to reality. I headed over to Pearl Harbor, which is a little eerie, since they left the ruins of the Arizona for all to see.
The beach is incredible. It's so warm and clear that I was able to see fish and reef while swimming. Catching waves here is really great as well. The waves are so much fun and they flow so clean. I'm kind of proud of myself for making the journey to the top of Diamond Head, which offers an unparalleled view. Most views of Waikiki are from the beach up, but I've gotten a view from the other side. I've got to go for now, but I will see you next in magical Tahiti.
