So much fun!
We had the best time! We were able to explore places we hadn’t visited yet, and the seal question was hilarious. We thought for sure it was rock and then put it together after the fact, very punny. We enjoyed getting to dive deeper into the theories and were excited to test our wit!
We had a great time walking up and down the Waikiki strip and finding a greater appreciation for the historical significance of the area. The mystery was intriguing and it was cool to uncover some beautiful public spaces we otherwise wouldn't have found.
