Adventures of a loner!

Since I don't really know anyone here and I want to experience all the cool things I can while I am here sometimes I just have to go alone. I Really have always enjoyed doing things alone, most times people are available to go with me and I just choose to go alone. I guess I am just weird that way.

Today I ran errands and went to the gym for a run! Still trying to train for those 5k's!  After that I came home and decided I really wanted to go see something new! I originally planned to go to Manoa Falls but Michael said it wasn't safe for me to go hiking alone here. So I went to the Valley of Temples instead. I found out its just a huge cemetery.

Here is just a little background on the Valley of Temples.

The park features a 1968 replica of the 11th-century Phoenix Hall of the Byodo-In Buddhist temple complex in Uji,Japan. Inside the main part of the temple is a 9-ft Amida Buddha statue sitting on a gold lotus leaf.

Also on the grounds are large Catholic statues depicting the Passion of Christ, the Virgin Mary, various Catholic saints, crypts and mausoleums of some of the most influential people in Hawaiʻi. Most notable of those interred at the mausoleums of the Valley of the Temples is Walter F. Dillingham, Hawaiian entrepreneur and statesman. For a time, former Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcos was interred at a private mausoleum overlooking the Byodo-In Temple.

Here are the pictures from my Adventure today! 

I made a lot of new friends by asking them to take my picture! :)

Lets hope its true!! :)
