rest and relaxation

while our 'pre-planned' schedule called for a trip to the north shore today, we just couldn't do it. our legs are sore and we were ready for a day of rest and relaxation.

so that's what we did - we got some coffee and scones from the little market here for breakfast and then put on our bathing suits for the first time on this trip!

we rented a cabana for the whole day, enjoyed lunch at the ocean-side bar and grill, and i read an entire book as we enjoyed just being here. swimming in the ocean was great, and we have heard tale that we'll be able to see some sea turtles if we snorkel near the edge of our lagoon. looking forward to strapping on the mask and snorkel this week to check that out...

here's the view from our cabana...

also, in a bit of irony...the honolulu paper gets delivered to us everyday. low and behold, on the front page, a huge picture of my brother's soon-to-be-ex-wife's aunt... we know she lives here, but here she is, on the front page counseling diabetes patients.
