Today is Lei Day and Worker’s Day here in Hawaii. My trip is to the North Shore. Famous for the surfing competitions at the Pipeline, Sunset Beach, Waimea Falls and the town of Haleiwa (pronounced Hal-ei-va). The first stop will be the 400 yr old Pu’u O Mahuka (hill of escape) Heiau (temple for religious ceremonies). Followed by Waimea Falls and the botanical gardens then a drive north along the North Shore coast past Sunset Beach returning south grabbing a late lunch/early dinner at the Beet Box Cafe in Haleiwa.
