Catching Up

Paula and I were up early for another adventure but, before I tackle today, I have some catching up to do. After our whale watching trip Tuesday, we headed to Waimea with Diane and Johnny. A local had recommended a restaurant to Diane that served the food the locals ate. Good food but portions that not only overload a plate but, bloat a belly. As an aside, since then, we've had the restaurant recommended by two other locals if you want to eat like a Hawaiian. They described it as plate lunches and said even the fast food drive thru's served plate lunches. Pork, chicken, lots of white rice, and macaroni salad.

After lunch, we checked out a beach Captain Casey from the whale watching tour recommended to Dani. Too rough for snorkeling but 7 large green turtles were riding the waves among the rocks. It was fun to watch as the waves would carry them right up to us and then, they would tumble back. We left there and headed to the beach at the Fairmont. The area is called Turtle Point and lived up to it's name. The first time I saw the turtle swimming below me I screamed TURTLE so loud that Johnny claimed to hear me over the wind and waves while submerged. I have yet to remember to set my camera correctly for under water pictures but here is proof of the green turtle sighting;


It was a great day and a fun way to say aloha as D & J headed south to their new home.


The next day we slept in with no real plans. The concierge recommended going north to Hawi.

Sorry, we just decided to go soak in the hot tub next to the beach. I'll try and catch up on yesterday and today later. Aloha.
