Leaving the Honolulu Museum of Art, I stroll down Beretania Street, the warm sun kissing my skin. The scent of fresh flowers wafts from nearby gardens, mingling with the occasional whiff of local food stalls. As I cross Nuuanu Avenue, the ground shifts from smooth pavement to a slightly uneven sidewalk, a reminder of the city's history. The sound of distant waves crashing grows louder as I approach the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace, where the towering façade beckons me closer.
