Breakfast with Chris and Nate at The Original Pancake House (808-596-8213, 1221 Kapiolani Blvd, Suite 103, Honolulu, Hawaii). Nate stayed home to work on his dissertation. Chris and I went to the Aloha Stadium flea market (aka swap meet), which we both found rather boring after seeing the same junk over and over again. Although it's common to return from vacation with small gifts for people in the office, I was not tempted here because it was all really tacky tourist stuff of very questionable quality. 8 t-shirts for $20—things like that. Chris and I had a really hard time finding the correct street, onramp, whatever to leave the flea market I think because of poor signage. I felt like screaming out of the window, "Help us leave the flea market! Please!" Next we went to Foster Botanical Gardens, then to Don Ho's Island Grill (kalua quesadilla; pepperoni, onion, mushroom pizza; iced teas). Chris took a nap. Dinner with Chris and Nate at OnJin's Cafe (808-589-1666, 401 Kamakee St, Honolulu, Hawaii).
