No Thank You...

While I was at Kapiolani Park one day, I saw some people taking lessons (I think)
for hang-gliding.  Not sure if that's even what this is called.
It wasn't overly windy that day, but watching them try to hold these parachute things down,
looked really hard.

 The instructor really had to hold onto the girl when the chute inflated...it
looked like she could take off any minute.



No Thank You, this isn't anything I think I'd like to try anytime soon. 
Didn't seem like there was a lot of control with these things.

Cricket

Last week on my way to hula, I drove through Kapiolani Park.  I came across this group of
men all dressed in white (long pants).  Not an aloha shirt in the bunch.  I realized
that they were playing cricket.  That British game that is sort of like baseball (not really).
It was just funny to see that even so many miles away from England, that
these local guys were sticking to the "cricket traditions".
