Shangri La
While we're on the topic of India I thought I'd share one of my most favorite places to visit in Honolulu and that's Shangri La: Doris Duke's beautiful home located on the crystalline coast of Diamond Head. Duke's home boasts one of the largest collections of Islamic art and it was her honeymoon trip to India (to the Taj Mahal to be more specific) that caused her to fall in love with the Islamic culture. Her travels later took her to Hawaii where she was inspired to build a home that blended Islamic art with the Hawaiian landscape.
