You've walked with me through the Historic Honolulu County Hawaii - Club Chaos Eye Candy post and my pictorial of Historic Sites in Honolulu County. Now you will really see a few sites in video......and be there right beside me....
Historic Haleiwa Town: In 1898 Benjamin Dillingham (a businessman) opened a hotel on the North Shore of Oahu and named it Haleiwa (Ha le ee va), Hale meaning house and iwa is a frigatebird. With many preserved old buildings this old town makes for a wonderful destination for tourists. Anahulu Stream Bridge, also known as Rainbow Bridge is on the north entrance to Haleiwa town. It is also listed as one of the historic bridges of the United States.
Pu'u o Mahuka is the largest heiau (ancient temple/religious site) on Oahu (island I live and Honolulu County) and covering almost two acres. They say the village must have been constructed in the 1600's and built with three walled enclosures. The rock walls are stacked from 3-6 feet height and the interior paved with stone. It was most likely used as a sacrificial temple...maybe for success in war? This was a time of political upheaval and in 1795 Kamehameha I conquered Oahu and his high priest Hewahewa (he va he va) conducted religious ceremonies here.
Hale o Lono Heiau is a temple that was excavated and dates between 1470 A.D and 1700 A.D. and located in Waimea Falls Park. Dedicated to the god Lono who was the god of agriculture, harvests, weather, sports and medicine.
Our historical sites and history surrounding our islands is mysterious, exotic and educational ...to say the least. Come join us and experience the rich history in our tropical paradise.

Great videos, Sally. I hope you weren't the one driving while the video was being taken. That would be a different video altogether. :)
Katrina: Aww...come visit then! You'll be doing just fine...
Gary: Thanks....I have so much more to share of my excursion today....oh, the views, the happenings :)
Heather: Nah.. dragged hubby out there ....and then we had lunch :)
So different from almost any place we find in the contiguous U.S. states. Good job showing us how unique your area is =)
Sally..... there you go again, giving us some good history of a certain area. I just never knew that there were so many places on and around the 5 main islands.
On another note... I have just been so busy and haven't been on AR much... but is Randy around? Okay? And how is business?
Woo Hoo, I am intrigued by the title. It seems you have titled this to also be an entry in your eye candy contest, right? Nice video work. And I recall reading in the comments on the other post that you were asked for more video. Would it be inappropriate to ask about this contest? I understand about the group but usually contests only allow one entry or is that different on this one? Perhaps I shouldn't ask and if so just ignore the question. I did certainly enjoy the tour and as you know, I have a fondness for the existence of The Rainbow Bridge ( the one in heaven and hopefully I get a chance to cross as I have a couple of precious little ones that are waiting for me) but I certainly like this Rainbow Bridge as well.
Hi William. We are a very unique little group. We run two dueling contests at the same time. It's all about the eye candy. We do one for photography and one for video, then we let the candidates decide if they want to work in one or both mediums. BTW, I sent you an invitation and I hope you will join our happy little virtual family. You comment so much with us you might as well be a bay-bay and post away (LOL). I told Liz Moras I sent you an invite. I do hope you will take us up on it. We have a lot of fun together. :-)
C-Sally-C, you should be doing more of these. I felt like I was seeing it for the first time. You're better than watching Hawaii 5-0 (LOL). I have got to talk the hubby into coming with me other there. I know he wont let me go without him. I would. In a heartbeat (LOL). ;-)
Thanks for the tour. I will get there someday Sally. Maybe I should switch to saving my credit card points to air miles this year?????
Sally - I felt like I was sitting right there beside you. What a great tour!
Wow, Sally! That's a great visual tour! You are definitely the premier ambassador for Hawaii! Thanks for taking us along with you!
Nice tour Sally! Just wondering, are the carved signs at the entrance to Haleiwa missing again?
Lisa: Unique....every place has it's own unique qualities...I love my home :)
Jeff: Where you been? lol. Randy is around..he likes Facebook and he is pretty steady. It's picking up in our area...big time.
William: See CTS's comment lol. thanks William!
CTS: I can thank you for getting us out of the house yesterday....I had my driver and we ended up having a beautiful day!
Laura: My group email is down and I tried twice to send out a notice... hope you can get one out!
Paddy: I think so! Keep thinking...it may turn into your dream come true!
Thanks Donna! It was fun doing!
Carol...you flatter me to no end...:)
Mike: No...my driver zipped past before I could say halt! lol
Sally, how wonderful. I just went through this post and the post before. Oh, just makes me want to steal my grandson and come on over there! You babysit, I will drive around and look at the spectacular scenery and the rich cultural and historical places!
Thank you, if I can't be there, this is the next best thing!
Sally~
Your post gave me 5 smiles and some serious longing today. I thank you for the smiles and I hope to see you..one of these days.
Aloha Sally—Excellent work as always. I'll be home within the month... can hardly wait! Good luck!
Sally,
Great video. (He said begrudgedly). Jeez, people who get to live in Hawaii are lucky.
WooHooo....now to see who calls me when they get here :)
