Haleiwa
Click above to play the embedded video, or see below for more options.
A trip with the family to historic Haleiwa town on the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii. It's a beautiful place somewhat clogged with tourist traffic. The key draw for many is shave ice, with Matsumoto's being the quintessential destination. My wife and I prefer Aoki's, just a few yards down the street, where the ice is finer and the lines are shorter. Music is "FastCars" from Plethora by MRDC (Magnatune/CC:BY-NC-SA).

Nice town you got there. Close enough to you too. I wish we could have shot some 8 ft waves in Waikiki yesterday.
I am amazed at how busy the shave ice stands have become! Whew!
Used to be so quiet, the North Shore.
I am stoked you are passing on the tradition (I think of it as tradition), of shave ice enjoyment to the kids. And the littlest one looks like, he got a bit of a pleasant icey shock. I'm sure they got all "sticky."
The Haleiwa bridge looks as tight for cars to pass, as I can remember.
Seeing the N. Shore brings back fond memories for me.
Thanks.
