So we spent a quite night in the Haunted Mansion…except for some weird noise in our room we could not identify, but we were so jet lagged we just fell asleep anyway. Next day another cool tour for the Hawaiian delegation! Secret under-ground city beneath D.C. ...and the Capital Building! We met up at Senator Hirono's office, then she took us all down stairs to an under ground level with a lot of doors leading off to very interesting offices: I swear N' one room I saw some important looking' guys in suits sitting at a table with a bunch of documents & photos all spread out, but the meeting seemed to be lead by a nine-year-old kid! Strange. In another room, I caught a glimpse of a strange machine that looked circa 1940's like something outa' a Flash Gordan episode, but it was turned-on, working, sparking snakes o' electricity- And the old-guy wearing 1940's style clothing fiddling with it caught me looking and like gave me the stink-eye… I kept on stepping! X-files! Very X-files! Then we got on a under ground tram and went really fast! Great ride - right outa Disney Land! Then we got handed over to a guide named Chris, and the only person I've met taller than Abbas. We enter the Visitor's Center - huge room like Grand central station. The very first statue you see is… King Kamehameha! Wow, everyone in our group goes nuts, we all gotta get pictures! Our Guide, Chris, tells us the strange story about the statue. Seems it's bigger than all the other statues in the capital buildings… like he's 7 foot instead of the usual 6 foot. He weighs a LOT! The engineers figure out the only place they can put the heavy King Kamehameha statue is in a certain part of the "Hall of Statues" that has a huge support pillar beneath it. However, it's a little out of the way, and kinda' in the dark. Well, seems King Kamehameha is not happy there. A mysterious crack forms in the marble floor beneath the statue. This spot is no longer safe to hold this massive statue… the engineers figure out the only other safe place is in the front of the visitors center, right by the entrance. So he's now the first statue greeting visitors to the capital. No one from Hawaii is surprised to hear this. This kinda stuff goes on in da' islands a lot. OK…6 hours time change is catching up with me…that's all for now, Tiki Tribe, I'm off to bed. More laters!
