Joaquin's FS hangs out in Hawaii

Joaquin's Flat Stanley arrived in the Aloha State after a LONG flight from Paris.

He tells us that the weather is terrific (just look at the coconut!)



Weather vane says no wind, sooooooo



it's time to hit the beach !








Coconut palms !







And exotic flowers... Plumeria



"Hula girl" hibiscus



Hibiscus



Cactus




He wasted no time and got right down to business and went... surfing ! What else ??!!





Then he went snorkling on the coral reef



Here he is trying out the diving equipment... a mask



fins !



and then fishing



He took a ride in the Yellow Submarine






Some local music



Hanging out with the locals ... shaka shaka ! (cool Hawaiian greeting)



He found a Hawaiian shirt... a bit too big, but definitely a great color for him !




And when things get hot in HI, there's nothing better than... shave ice !






wow ! Rainbow colors !



Time for a dip in the pool...




Here he is enjoying some local fruits ... Pineapples



Papaya



Jack fruit !



Coconuts !



Bananas



Now, for a trip in a catamaran...





Shaka shaka with the beach girls !



and then on a sea canoe









Flat Stanley says "Aloha", or Goodbye/Hello, and see you soon back in Paris (although he'd really like to just stay in HI!)
