Scottish Festival

Today was the Scottish Festival in Waikiki. I didn't arrive until about an hour after it began. But I was in time to see the Bagpipe band do their short parade to the performance area. They were preceded by the Marine Color Guard.

Below is the woman from my church who plays in this band.

And here she is with her husband, who, although he didn't perform, was dressed appropriately.

One of the competitors.

One of the competitors-in-training. She cracked me up--so cute!

This competitor (throwing the Heavy Weight) came from Georgia (or some state in that area) just for the competition. So he was a southerner, competing in the Scottish Games in Hawaii--I just thought that was intersting.

When I left the Festival, I passed the Aquarium on my way to my car, and decided to take a look. The photos from there leave a lot to be desired, so just use your imaginations and pretend you see images of fish.
