Making the best of the day

Mission House Museum

King Kam (s)

Our original plan was to tour the Arizona memorial this morning.  However, when we showed up at the visitor center, the ranger there could hardly contain his laughter.  We had shown up around lunchtime, and he reported that by 7 am there had been 500 people who had shown up for the day's tickets.  So, we toured the Mission House Museum downtown, and were awed by the history of the New England missionaries, and their integration into the native Hawaiian culture in the early 1820s.
