January 31, 2010 - Honolulu and Pearl Harbor

We are traveling today with our nephew, Brian, who lives on Oahu where he works for Monsanto.  He showed us many of the sights.  Today was a pilgrimage to Pearl Harbor where we saw the memorial

Then we went on to the Nu Uanu Pali Cliffs.  They are rugged and steep and separate the leeward and the windward sides of the island.
