Nihau 歡迎胡錦濤 ALOHA!
Mornings in Waikiki
are usually peaceful.
But my walk to the post office
yesterday morning
was very different.
Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State,
was speaking at my alma mater
University of Hawaii;
Treasury Secretary Geithner
was holding a meeting nearby.
But this was
BIGGER!
The BIG show
was heading right for Waikiki.
Vacationers/holiday makers
looked on with interest.
Honolulu Police Officers
in their APEC Aloha finery
were there:
President of the People's Republic of China
HU JINTAO
was on his way!
Local Chinese-Americans
were present for the big day
The pride of this young couple
was evident!
Motorcades are always a quick let-down.
The cheers of the crowd were exciting.
Now:
How To Get To the Post Office!
True!
Below
is a slide-show
of events.
Thanks for visiting.
YOU
are a dignitary
here!
Comment for the record?
Warmly, cloudia
