Chess table

A colorful table with a chess board motif in Hawaii

One of the tables at a local coffee shop has a chess board painted against a colorful background. Not sure whether chess pieces are available for those who want to play. If they do, it’s worth noting that chess is a very geometric game.

Seeing this Humpback Whale in the air was a lovely follow up to the magical encounter, a couple of weeks ago, with a Humpback Whale in the water (here).
