I'm back in Hawaii for a quick 4-day trip, so I thought I would to share a couple of views of Waikiki. Tonight we had dinner at one of the restaurants in the recently re-created International Marketplace, which is now a seriously posh shopping and dining center. The only thing that remains of the original area is the banyan tree in the center of the complex.
Originally founded in 1957, the Marketplace was closed down for reconstruction in 2014 and reopened last August. As beautiful and charming as it is now, I have to admit, I miss the local feel the original Marketplace had.After dinner I had to take a short walk down to the beach. I couldn't resist trying to capture the palm tree shadow on the beach.
