We started the day at Pearl Harbor with a large Semester at Sea group. Barek met some survivors of the attack before we took the boat over to the USS Arizona Memorial. Brave little Asher is in the museum's wheelchair. The doctor doesn't want him to put any wait on his stitched up foot for a long time. So it has been piggy back rides all day for him! Thankfully, he doesn't have any pain--it is just an inconvenience to have the bottom of his foot injured.
In downtown Honolulu, our tour bus guide showed us the eternal flame in honor of all who died in WWII, the palace, and the statue of the Hawaiian King from the 19th Century.
Afterwards, we went to the military cemetery in Honolulu, where the main entrance was lined with these trees.

In the afternoon we took the city bus to Wakkaki Beach. Charis and Barek enjoyed playing in the ocean. Although Asher would have liked to have gone in, he had a great time building a sand shark with Rob, who is on the residence life staff this semester on the ship.
