Waikiki Sunset Stroll 1/4/2013

Waikiki Sunset Stroll 1/4/2013 (youtube)

 On my walk today there was a nice sunset along Waikiki beach. It has been raining a lot all week  but luckily It cleared up enough this afternoon. Definitely winter time in the islands.  
While I was walking along the beach the Mynah birds were voicing their place in the banyan and trying to get a nice warm spot for the evening. The ocean is quite calm today but there is a lot of wind. The forecast is for more wind tomorrow.






As I got further down the beach I found a Hawaiian Monk Seal sleeping on the shore. The beach was taped off  to give the seal enough space for a good rest. It is very common for the seals to rest at Waikiki and there is a group of volunteers that do a great job of giving the seals their space.  When you see the seals on the beach please give them enough comfort space to rest. 







Ezogiku Ramen Waikiki


Ezogiku Ramen Waikiki, 2146 Kalakaua Avenue



 Akiko and I had Dinner at Ezogiku last night and it was quite good. Ezogiku is on Kalakaua avenue close to Lewers on the mauka side of the road. You can get FREE GYOZA with this coupon until 1/6/13! 




The service is really good and it is a typical ramen shop as far as the decor is concerned. I had a crispy noodle with seafood dish and Akiko had a vegtable salt ramen. 











Both dishes were great and we left content. We had been shopping earlier and forgot out shopping bag in he restaurant...oops. When we got home we called and the folks at Ezogiku had already put the shopping bag on the side in anticipation of our return. GREAT PEOPLE! Ezogiku Ramen is very popular for lunch and Akiko eats there a lot with her friends. I definitely recommend Ezogiku for a hot bowl of ramen, or in my case a plate of crispy noodles with seafood.
