Rainbow Drive-In

This evening my Mom and I decided to try the Rainbow Drive-In for dinner. She had the Chili plate and I had the Hamburger Patty with gravy. Both were VERY good!!




But what made the experience especially memorable was that a gentleman named Ted Takata asked if he could sit at our table (it was very crowded). Of course we said yes. What we didn't realize was that we were about to meet an incredibly interesting person with a diverse past.

He's of Japanese-American descent, has 2 little granddaughters that he's very proud of, and is a realtor here in town. He was in the U.S. Army after WW2, spending much time in Germany.

Ted was on his way home after body boarding (not surfing but those smaller styrofoam boards).

Interesting, interesting fellow and a great example of the friendliness here in Hawaii!
