Thanks to the time change (we are 5-hours behind CST), several students were up bright and early this morning; motivated and ready to get out and about with the plan for the day.
Caught these lovely “wahine” (Hawaiian & Maori word for “women”) enjoying the view from the lanai off of their 5th floor room at our hotel as I was enjoying my coffee this morning…

Here is the view from my lanai… downtown Waikiki is very reminiscent of downtown Chicago (but with palm trees!).
Kumu Lisa and I took a group of students to the Bishop Museum. The students completed a scavenger hunt activity developed by Kumu Lisa that will inform their reflective journals entries, and seemed to have fun in the process!
Natalie S. & Sarah V. view a scaled model of an ancient Hawaiian sacred space…
Rachel A. & Kayla S. get in touch with their inner Polynesian warriors…
Five pairs of students completed their observation experiences with an alternative/complementary therapy provider today. Daniel G. and Nicolette L. met with Dr. Margarethe McLeod, a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) today and had the opportunity to observe her doing energy work with a client. Later, Dr. McLeod joined us for dinner at the Hula Grill!

We ended the day with a “Welcome” dinner at the Hula Grill, and a group photo on the beach below the restaurant, with the beautiful silhouette of Diamond Head behind us…
