Sunday, Feb 8

Aloha!  Laie turns into a ghost town on Sunday, as no businesses are allowed to be open according to the wishes of BYU (Brigham Young University).  So we motored north in the sunshine in search of breakfast and ended up at Ted's Bakery - chatted with a mom with 3 little kids who lives here - very cute, but they and their friends scattered when I tried to take a pic!  After breakfast we  went to the "turtle beach,"  but none were basking this morning.  Stopped at Foodland in Sunset Beach (a really nice grocery store) for dinner supplies and then stopped  in at the Waimea Beach Park, a lovely quiet park with trees for shade and picnic tables and a beautiful beach - seemed like a nice family beach.  Then headed south for a relaxing afternoon at "home."  Felt good to bask in the sun on the lounge chairs on the lower lanai reading and then later on, on our beach - Bill went snorkeling and saw some Angel fish, and other colorful fish around a small coral reef.  Dinner in tonight - pork ribs marinated in Hawaiin teriyaki sauce and a simple salad - early to bed after our big outing yesterday!  Beautiful full moon :)
