    No shave ice, but there is a shrimp truck that seems to be pretty popular. My last visit to Oahu was four years ago. A lot has changed since then. My biggest disappoint so far was finding out that the Wailana Coffee House closed its doors last year.

    How did you figure that out on google from just a pic?
    Or have you been there and recognized the general area?

    I thought it resembled Mont Blanc from across Lake Geneva.

    Went to google maps street view and found that the view angle from Geneva wasn't right - and started working my way around the coast until it did look right.

    Landed on Montreux.


    But I have to say that when I looked about the view across Lake Como or Lake Lucerne - I had to wonder if EZ$ hadn't nailed it...

    Back in Colorado now, but wanted to mention that I saw a Cobra (not sure what make specifically) on Saturday (March 31st) on the south end of Waikiki at the park where my wife and I were enjoying the artist market. I only got a brief look at it, but it was a dark blue or black (didn't notice a stripe) with some decals on the side of the car.
