A blue sky morning! But of course, this is the day of Brooke's birth 25 years ago! The ending of Bill and Robin, the wonderful beginning of Bill and Robin and family. We spoke with her and she was having a lovely day. We went down to our beach after a relaxing coffee and internet time on the lanai talking with Linda, the owner of the house. Interestingly, the Brigham Young University students enjoy coming to our beach, so Bill has very politely enjoyed some nice sights - also, young children having the time of their lives with mom or dad. A very wholesome environment!
As much as we enjoyed the sunshine and water, knew we should not stay too long in the sun, so pried ourselves from the incredible warm sunshine and packed up in search of Thai food and green sea turtles (my newfound love). We found both!! While the Thai food was good (not as good as the Thai Hut in Gig Harbor, we felt), our trip in the sunshine was the best!! The surf on the North Shore was incredible!! We stopped where we were told the green sea turtles sometimes come ashore to bask. We walked along the beach with lava rock and looked out to sea as many were doing and saw lovely waves, but nothing else. Then a tour bus descended upon the beach and all went to a far corner with cameras in hand. We thought we should see what they were up to and followed them. To our wonderful surprise there was a roped off area and on the other side were three sea turtles basking in the sun! What marvelous creatures!! We felt so privileged to have seen them. There were at least two more feeding on the seaweed in the water.
After tearing ourselves away from the turtles we headed home. We kept seeing incredible surf as we headed south and felt compelled to turn around and go back to Shark's Cove. Beautiful, fantastic, explosive - wow oh wow. Tried to capture it, but will live forever in our souls. Stopped at Ted's Bakery for 2 pieces of chocolate cream pie for later :) Went from sunshine to rain as we headed to Laie. Fantastic day - another movie tonight :)
