Dan helped me finish setting up the classroom again this morning, then we got lunch and headed to Kapi'olani Park Bandstand to sit and listen to the Slack Key Guitar Festival, or Ki Ho'alu. It was very relaxing listening to popular entertainers play Hawaiian music. I walked around and ran into Bree (Jay's ex-girlfriend) who was promoting her new day spa salon with massages. I also got a chance to sign up and register my name as a native Hawaiian for the Kau Inoa organization.
Later in the evening, Dan and I took in a movie and saw the hilarious "Wedding Crashers" at the Dole Cannery. I introduced him to the local style movie theater snack of popcorn-kakimochi (Japanese rice crackers)-furikake (nori seaweed seasoning mix you usually sprinkle on hot white rice)...A must-have for theater goers here. Just a relaxing Sunday.
About Me
- Tanya Mau-Halsall
- I am a 33 year old elementary school teacher, born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai'i. After living in Seattle and overseas in Thailand for a total of 12 years, I returned to Hawai'i to help take care of my father, who was diagnosed with ALS, a.k.a. Lou Gherig's Disease, in October 2004. After 2 1/2 years of watching his body slowly decline, my father earned his wings April 2007 and is no longer suffering. The past couple of years was spent sharing valuable time together and making more memories, as my father got to "walk" me down the aisle, though he was a couple months shy of seeing the birth of his first grandchild. And now, with new life, the journey continues with baby Chase, as I learn how to balance teaching, marriage, and being a mom. This online journal is a way for me to express myself, through my love of traveling, photography, and writing, while keeping in touch with family and friends.
