Old Lahaina Vendors

Souvenir
A souvenir is a thing that is kept as a reminder of a person, place, or event.

As in:  ”We bought some souvenirs of the Old Lahaina luau from the very nice lady in the picture below.”

President Obama’s Inauguration

I doubt anyone is still checking this blog out. I have been so bad at posting photos! SORRY!

Anyways ~

Today marks Barack Obama’s first year in office.

During his inauguration last year, jumbotrons were set up in front of my office building so that people could witness history in the making.

Here are some photos I took this day last year.

Adventures

Excerpt From Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?’
‘That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,’ said the Cat.
‘I don’t much care where–’ said Alice.
‘Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,’ said the Cat.
‘–so long as I get SOMEWHERE,’ Alice added as an explanation.
‘Oh, you’re sure to do that,’ said the Cat, `if you only walk long enough.’
- Lewis Carroll

Drive Thru / Bike Thru

Driving home from my sister’s condo to our house, I noticed 2 boys steering their bikes through the McDonald’s Drive Thru.

It put a big smile on my face. I just thought it was sweet.

And funny.

These photos were taken the day Manny Pacquiao arrived in Manila after his fight with Cotto in Las Vegas. His motorcade passed right in front of my sister’s office building. I did not bring my dslr but was able to borrow a point and shoot camera.

I do not know much about Pacquiao. So, I grabbed the information below from Wikipedia.

Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao (pronounced /ˈpækjaʊ/, /pa’kjaw/ in Cebuano and Tagalog, also in Bikol; born December 17, 1978), more commonly known as Manny Pacquiao, is a Filipino professional boxer.

He is currently the WBO welterweight world champion, IBO and Ring Magazine light welterweight champion, and is rated by Ring Magazine as the #1 pound-for-pound boxer in the world.

He is also the former WBC lightweight world champion, WBC super featherweight world champion, IBF super bantamweight world champion, and WBC flyweight world champion. Furthermore, he is the former Ring Magazine featherweight and super featherweight champion.

The Filipino boxing superstar is the first boxer to win seven world titles in seven different weight divisions. In addition, he is the only boxer to win the lineal championship (“the man who beat the man”) in four different weight classes.
