Highlights:
-Charlie's 29th Birthday!!!
-Hanauma Bay snorkeling and chicken runs
**We drove to Hanauma (ha-na-oo-ma) Bay for some great snorkeling. It was a bit choppy that day, but otherwise very fun. It's starting to feel like we snorkel on every trip we go on (Costa Rica, Jamaica, Hawaii...), although it will be a bit harder to snorkel in Switzerland. Brr! As for the chicken runs, there are chickens all over this island, like it's third-world style. They would run super fast past our beach towel on their way to...or maybe their way FROM being dinner. Yeah, that's it. Good one.
-Halona Blowhole
**This is a hole in some rocks on the edge of the beach and just up the road from Hanauma Bay. When the waves hit it just right, water spouts from it like a geyser. Although, we only saw sprays of it, I bet it looks neat as a giant spout.
-"From Here to Eternity" beach and sea turtles, plus "Digger" the dog
**We stopped at a small fishing shrine just behind the Halona Blowhole lookout, on a nearby cliff. we have pictures from the top of this uber-windy cliff, with beautiful views all around us. Down below we noticed a small inlet that people were using for a beach. There were sea turtles swimming in it with the people & it was so neat. We decided to trek down the cliffside to check it out. Turns out that this beach is the same beach from that sexy "love scene" from the movie From Here to Eternity. We thought it was special. In addition, there was this crazy little dog feverishly digging itself a hole in the sand. It's owner would throw a teensy bit of sand in after the dog, who was completely inside of it's sand bunker by now, and it would "bark!" and then crazily dig out the little chunk of sand the guy threw in. Awesome.
-Keoni's Thai for dinner in Waikiki
