Aloha 2011

Day five- We started today by sleeping in. Tough work, but somebody's gotta do it. Then we went for a long walk through the National Historical Park by the boat harbor and out across a long stretch of beach. We saw one smallish turtle from a short distance.
Don't know what crawled out of this hole, but I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as a beach gopher. My vote is some kind of crab.

After a shower we went out running errands, visiting favorite shops to see what was new and restocking our supply of macadamia nuts. We also did a lot of just driving around the back roads. We stopped for lunch at a new burger shop called ‘Ultimate Burger.’ They use local, organic ingredients whenever they can- beef, mushrooms, tomatoes, fruits and greens. It was tasty, but pricy for a burger. I’ll be interested to see if they are still there when we come back next year. We also stopped at a local quilt/needlework store and I got stuff to make a little wall hanging. 


The colors and fabrics won't be quite the same, but it's going to be something like this. Just not as professional and perfect.
 
Neither one of us was very hungry this evening, so we ate in for dinner, snacking on left-overs and fruit.
And btw- there are lots of nice things about staying at a nicer, well-maintained condo complex. This morning when I looked out by the pool and BBQ cabana, there was someone out there scrubbing all the BBQs. Someone does that every day. Nice!
