Errands at Long's Drugs. I felt well enough today to drive, so I drove to Chinatown, parked in the Chinatown Municipal Garage (where Chris and Nate says there's inexpensive parking), got hong kong style seafood chow mein at Little Village Noodle House (808-545-3008, 1113 Smith Street, Honolulu). The food was good, service was inattentive. Walked around Chinatown, which was depressing because there wasn't a lot of activity and some of the storefronts are closed up or in really bad condition. One really nice part was seeing an elderly woman making leis at a folding table in the entry to one flower shop. I wanted to take a photo, but it seemed too intrusive, so I didn't. Went to Queen's Beach, sat on the beach for a few hours. The sky was overcast, but it was still quite warm. I watched people take surfing lessons. Stopped at Times Supermarket on the way home for some groceries. Chris went to dinner with his family, Nate and I had turkey burgers and salad at home.
