Hilton Village where we stayed has a long history from more than half a century ago. It was built in the dawn of Waikiki as one of the principal global resorts. Its location in Waikiki, I think, would be the best. The vast grounds include natural lagoons and beaches. As I walked on the roundabout way home from the yacht harbor, the sun rose up and it was getting hot! You'd know or feel the elevation of the sun from the following pictures.
An early-morning yoga class, which was regularly held in the shade of the condominium complex on the grass court, had just finished. The participants were mostly women and I wanted to join them since before, but I was too shy to enter into this group, and moreover my body is so stiff to do it.
Then I tried to walk in the shade for some time, but I changed my mind after remembering that I was in Hawaii. I dared to walk under the tropical sun and perspired a lot. As soon as I got home, I made a beeline to the shower, then the fridge to grab a beer.
このヒルトンヴィレッジはかなり古くからある施設でワイキキでも一番良い場所にあるような気がする。そしていくつもの建物があり、また広い。ヨットハーバーからの帰りに少し遠回りをして帰宅したが、太陽がどんどん高くなり、かなり汗をかいた。写真からも太陽の高さがわかると思う。日陰になっている広場ではちょうど無料のヨガ教室が終わったところだったようだった。ほとんど女性。ヨガに興味はあるが、この中に混ざるのはちょっと気恥ずかしい。身体は恐ろしく硬いし。なるべく日陰を歩こうとしたのだが、考えて見れば、ハワイに来て太陽を避けるなど言語道断。あえて日差しを浴びて帰宅、シャワールームに駆け込み、、、、ビール！
