Here is the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.During WWII, Japanese subs would lurk here in the shallows
listening to the music wafting from the hotel.

I enjoyed all of that, including the ZNH quote that reminded me what a brilliant writer she is. I hope the wedding goes well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo...:)
ReplyDeleteI love the first one.
I love the quote about the sky breaking like an egg! All of the photos of the water make me want to just slide in and float home. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMethinks Goethe was overcompensating.
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous to have you officiate at a wedding ... hard to imagine anyone more loving joining a couple in love ...
ReplyDeleteya..knowledge speaks..
ReplyDeleteI love the photos very much. Makes me want to hop on a plane and head over for a little R&R.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at the wedding. Big hug. :)
Wish I was there, wedding and all. Have a great day, Gal Pal! Aloha!
ReplyDeleteOh a wedding in Hawaii - it conjours up a lovely picture. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the photos. That hotel looks like a place I'd want to stay, I love history. Creepy to think of the Japanese subs lurking. And the Hurston quote makes me want to revisit a novel or two. I just learned that FDR administration paid her to write. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteYou perform weddings--how amazing. Hope all goes well, I love September weddings.
Thanks for your visits and good wishes. You folks really make my day lovely!
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know about the wedding - maybe even post some pics (though tomorrows post will be set to go today before I head up there).
Thanks for your expressions of confidence in my officiating. It's SUCH a privlege! For those who are unaffiliated, humanist, same-sex, or alienated from churches altogether, I'm the
"alterna-Rev."
Thanks again for wishing them (and me!) well for a lovely wedding by the sea.
Aloha!
I loved today's post, Cloudia. The pictures are gorgeous. Congratulations on being an "alterna-rev". It sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteThe last photo is awesome, Cloudia!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm missing that wonderful warm salt water.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words of advice, Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
