Our favorite hike day.

It was so windy on the coast today!  We went on ":Our favorite hike" today and Lee said, "Whose favorite hike is it?"  I said, "Anyone who has ever been there."  Don and I took lots of people out here and everyone loves it.  It was beautiful today, but so windy, which is not so uncommon around here.  Notice in the background you can see Maui on the horizon.  Some days it's too cloudy to see Maui, but today Maui was really clear.  It's about 25 miles over there, I think, but there is a very strong current between the islands, so the only way you can get there is to fly.

We are exhausted, again, but it's great exhaustion!  I had soaked a pot of beans last night and cooked them this morning before we left.  We juiced a bunch of oranges and grapefruit from Bob's trees this morning.  Tonight when we got home from our hike we had beans and cornbread and fried potatoes.  In the morning we'll have the leftover potatoes with eggs for breakfast and fresh juice.  Yum!  God is so good to us and it's wonderful to be here and enjoy so much of His handiwork.

We didn't see whales today.  The water was way to rough to determine a whale splash from plane old rough water.  It was a great day to be hiking and it was wonderful to have the four wheel drive jeep so we didn't have to walk so much.  However, my fitbit (pedometer) shows that I walked a little over 4 miles and climbed 41 flights of stairs!  I thank God that we are able to make this trip!
