Previously, we visited this tree after a trip for dogs & daiquiris (see: 2024 02 20). Gene & Jude’s and Hala Kahiki tiki bar is a potent one-two combo.

I’m still not working in black & white as much as I’d like to be, I’m just such a sucker for color. It’s hard to be interested in so many things. Sometimes I wish I was a simple tiki bar or hot dog shop proprietor — order da dogs, make da dogs, get money for da dogs, repeat. The grass is always greener, as they say.
