Kiholo Bay Day

Today was another day of beach hiking. This is a picture Don took of me when we found another great swing. I'm realizing that I'm pretty hooked on swings. It must be a Hawaii thing, too, because we find swings all over the place. Oh, Tom and Linda, and Steve and Mary, we sure missed you today; you would have loved it. Tom and Linda, this might have been one of the places you drove on your last day. Anyway, we'll all have to do this, again, because Don's Tours is expanding!

We hiked out to Kiholo Bay today. I got so many pictures; I never know where to start. After that hike, which was very difficult, we came back and hiked between the Marriott and the Hilton. That was simpler and shorter. This is where we found this swing. When we got to the Hilton the dolphins were just about to perform with the kids. We love to watch them do that. One time when we were here and our grandson, Garrett, joined us, he got to participate in the dolphin 'Quest.' It's a wonderful experience for kids. We were exhausted from hiking all morning and way thirsty, so we sat down and had a fruit smoothie, and guess who was entertaining? Cameron, the guy who was entertaining at the restaurant Sunday night. We thought that was pretty cool.

Tomorrow we are going to visit our friend, Harry, who hiked down in Pololu with us. He lives south of Hilo, so we're looking forward to hiking around his place, which is a part of the island with which we aren't all that familiar. We look forward to it. I hope I can move tomorrow! The hard thing about hiking today was that we were hiking in really deep rocks and it was hard to walk. Everything I have hurts and a lot of stuff I didn't even know I had! You know what, though? I thank God that I could walk it! We saw wild goats, some new bird I can't identify, yet, huge Hawaiian turtles, and the most beautiful water ever. I got pictures of all of it. Also, we saw (and I photographed) homes built by the guy who invented the pacemaker and some other guy, who I can't remember, but I'll look it up and share it with you when I post the pictures in the future. It was a great day and I thank God for it!
