Sweet Tantalus…

255

Mama Iwata-san loves Hawaii so when her newlywed Daughter Mariko-san came, she told her where she should go.  and one of those places was Tantalus.  a mountain we all love so much…

the coolest couple from Tokyo.  Takagi-san and Mariko-san!  this is where your Mama and Papa love so much, and i’m glad you loved it too.

there’s a place we always would stop by and Mama would always spot out an avocado.  so we went to try to find it.

we kept on looking but couldn’t find any avocados.  i’m sure there were a couple up there but we didn’t have Mama’s avocado eyes…  maybe next time.

but we found the sweet smell we were smelling all he way up and down the mountain.

and that sweet smell was all the ginger that was in full bloom!  it was sweetness everywhere!

a few selfies and we were on our way down the cool mountain and back into the hot city.

then stopped by Waiola shave ice to cool us down again.  thank you Takagi-san and Mariko-san for the wonderful day of surfing, eating, exploring, and sweets.  keep on enjoying your Hawaiian Honeymoon Vacation!
