Returned last night from Hawaii, just over two weeks and was it great. The first week was spent just south of Kona in a town called Captain Cook. We ran and swam in the mornings, ate breakfast on the deck and searched out new beaches by day. There was the best snorkeling in that area, we swam with dolphins that might have been attracted to the bright yellow, red and blue packrafts that Seth, Caroline and Pat brought. There was a small pod that we followed to the Captain Cook monument, where the Capt. finally bit the bullet. There was shave ice, evening cocktails, eel and shark sightings and cooling evening rain showers. We spent Christmas there than the 9 of us packed up the two Ford Focuses and moved to Puako just North of Kona. This house was not as nice, a bit older with cooler quarks but the entire back yard was grass than sand than lava and ocean, sea turtles beaches themselves daily and we spent much time just watching the Humpback whales breaching, tale slapping and throwing their entire bodies out of the air. The beaches were great fun, much body and boogie boarding was done as well as dodging of very slow sea turtles.
Welcome home, it's dark, pretty cold but Spy is happy and snuggled on the coach next to Seth and I as I write, we are getting 3 chicken eggs a day and there is much to look forward to in the new year.
Merry Christmas,
B
