One door closes, another opens

Mardi Gras...Honolulu style. Apparently this is the place to be to celebrate a holiday. This evening they had a street party for Mardi Gras. They roped off two city blocks on Nu'uanau for a big party. There were two stages with live music and a bunch of beads. Our friend Heidi was actually in charge of part of it... so she got us some beads instead of having to earn them the traditional way. It was a lot of fun and with in walking distance of home. The music stopped at 10pm so there was plenty of time to come home and still get a good nights sleep. It was very enjoyable!
