This morning the breakfast was good as always, and we all ate too much!
After the amazing breakfast we headed toward the Pearl Harbor Memorial which is towards the South side of the island. We started off volunteering for the battle ship, where we made sure all the hand rails were clear of germs. In exchange for our volunteer work, we got the guided tour around the amazing ship which had 16 inch canons and was also the place where the 2nd World War ended when the Japanese and the ally powers signed the treaty.
Two people were awarded for their great volunteer work with a Navy pin...Jasmin and Pato.
After seeing where World War II ended, we saw where the American involvement started...Pearl Harbor.
The short movie and seeing the USS Arizona all made us think if war is really worth all the lives lost. There was an old man in his 90s at the memorial and he was one of the survivors on the ship...when he found out we were from all over the world he was very excited!
After a morning of history we went to the beach. The waves were big and many of us enjoyed jumping in them. Even though most of us were unlucky enough to get salt water down our throats, it was a lot of fun.
We must admit we’ve been unlucky with the weather. While eating lunch, it was way too hot – and then when we arrived at the beach and it was cloudy! But, we still had a lot of fun. We also took a lot of pictures with our flags!
We ended the day with eating a Hawaiin BBQ at the hotel (delicious!) and got some free time. We headed back to the International Market to do some shopping. Now we are soon heading to bed in order to get up at 6:30 am tomorrow morning to see the beautiful sunrise over the ocean.
