It just so happens that as the program comes to an end I've finally uploaded a bunch of pictures from my time here. I'll try to upload them and take more pictures now that I've got it all figured out, so that most aspects of my day to day duties and experiences are properly cataloged here for everyone to enjoy.
First of all we have the Statue of King Kamehameha, prominently displayed in the main foyer in the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC). This Center was built onto the front? of the Capitol and serves as the main interface for guests who come to the Capitol building. The Center offers guided tours as well as videos and a historical gallery for visitors. Within the Capitol every state has two statues of prominent figures displayed within it. The State of Hawai'i has King Kamehameha as you can see here and another statue of Reverend Joseph Damien De Veuster otherwise known as Father Damien.
This fourth photo is from the inside of the CVC, as you can see because this structure is built onto the front of the main Capitol building its glass roof sometimes offers unusually close views of the main rotunda of the Capitol. It may not be easy to visualize but because all of the Senate buildings are found on one side of the Capitol and all the House office buildings are on the other, one would have to travel the long axis of the Capitol to get from one side to the other. Until the CVC was built! Now it is possible to speedily pass through the CVC along it's long axis.
That is all for now, I shall try to upload more photos from other events later this week!
