Day two continued......

As we got off the hill and started to the next cell site

 we trusted Jill not to lead us a stray.

Alicia was wonderful giving us history facts and 

showing us her favorite beach areas, telling

us where different movies were filmed

but even she could not keep on top of Jill's

 crazy directions!

Here's a nice photo to show you where we are going...Keep reading will you?

First a stop for a vial of sand for Auntie Georgia

She requested some sand for her collection.

We collected Waikiki yesterday day 

so today it's somewhere between Punaluu 

and Kaaawa, no I didn't spell that wrong!

Phil is opening the little bag of vials and taking out the 

Scotch tape...This is a process! 

A. & I are just thinking bathing suits...hop in water.

We had them with us and we were dieing to get in the water.

 writing the beach location on the sand vial. 

Told you it was a process. Try writing on 

a piece of tape with a pen in the 

salt air and sand.

This was a lovely beach picnic area.

It was hard to leave. 

 coconut on the beach, they are everywhere.

Saw my first Hawaiian Cardinal They are much

different from Eastern Cardinals

look closely

One last look at the beach and off we go!

Seems Jill lead us a stay

we try to correct our issue but she keep telling us to turn around. 

Cranky Jill tells us 10 ways to turn around.

but we know better.  We keep driving the way we started.

First a view site and some photos.

We saw a few whales breach here 

and some very interesting plants etc.

we are up on a hill above the ocean.

People are friendly guess because they

are on vacation. 

The dark areas are coral.  It is everywhere.

The next few photos are of the whales, look closely

you can see them blow!

Phil loved these plants this must be the dry side of the island

This is Alicia's favorite swimming beach

I can sure see why.  She rides that little

scooter in the garage, on the beginning of day two,

out to these lovely places.

At some point I switched lens with A. so she could

use my new 17-50 2.8

as you see her stock lens isn't so bad.

I'm wondering what she thinks of 

her photos from the 2.8?

Thank you Alicia for sharing the photos you took!

 This is a map so you can tell which islands 

you are seeing in the distance

ready see what if you see the next island

see that land in the distance?

So to tie up this day quickly now....
Jill was going crazy with our poor choices
A. tried to disarm our chatty Hawaiian tour voices
No go!  We had to live with it.

We found our cell site after some switch backs.
It was in someones back yard, so A. and I stayed in
the car.

 Just driving to our last site.

This is China mans hat. A storm is brewing

a view from further down the road

everything has a flower and a fruit.
Not sure what we can eat really.

Dinner was in laie 

Entertainment is old surfing movies
Look who is really enjoying that.

Clint called while we were here.
Fun.
I had fish tacos.  Yummy


 A. Collected Georgia sand
at the famous Sunset beach!

we got back to Waikiki and had frozen yogurt and
any topping you wanted.  I had taro yogurt, a sort of
purple and it was very tasty!

 This surfer had just left the water and talked
with us as we collected sunset beach sand
