Hawaii June Highlights

June’s Hawaii trip was short and sweet, yet every day I had a pocket of time to explore in a small radius around dad’s home. Some art and architecture highlights are captured here in this post.

Breeze Block Walks - Honolulu

The last trip to Hawaii was relatively short so I had just one architecture/art outing on the wishlist which was to view the breeze block exhibit at the Honolulu Museum of Art. Alas, that outing did not come to be and I contented myself mainly with short walks in dad’s neighborhood.

You could say that I curated my own breeze block exhibit 😉.
