Cruisin' to the Sand Castles

P2195173

There was a Sand Castle building contest at Kailua Beach today, but the short drive from town took soo long.  First I drove in the wrong direction, instead of heading to H-1 West to the Pali Hwy, I went towards H-1 East, doh!  Then experienced major mid-day traffic at the Kapahulu/Kapiolani freeway entrance.  There was also road work on Nuuanu, oy.  Thank goodness I had my iPod tunes rockin' in the car...it'll be an enjoyable cruise.

Drove around to find parking and had to circle again.  I got lucky as this guy was leaving and gave me his spot, sweet!  The beach was pretty packed with tourists, I guess they were all here to see the sand castles.  Here's pictures of all the ones built.  I really liked the "Buddha Hanging Loose" and "Slumdog Brazilionaires".  Which one's got your vote?
