We're in Hawaii - yesterday we went to 4 different beaches, and today Noah spent more than 3 hours in the water (the pool right outside, the beach down the street where he boogie boarded from 3-6:00, and then a bath that he didn't want to leave. He hasn't taken a bath in about 9 months; it's only been showers because he's been holding a grudge against our bathtub. But here in our apartment, we have a nice -and different- bathtub).
We walked to a beach down the street, which was filled with black lava rocks, and drove 5 or 10 minutes to an are-you-kidding-me-beach. It's actually called Disappearing Sands beach and we went there again today. Perfect sand and perfect water in the perfect shade of turquoise. So we have a new name for it. The are-you-kidding-me beach.
Today we also went to a national historic park called Pu-uhonua o Honaunau, which was the old royal grounds. There was a little temple that was the place to go to to get yourself redeemed and forgiven after you sinned. There were huge wooden totems and woven grass tents and coconuts everywhere. There were other fruits and plants also that we couldn't identify. I like seeing fruits and plants I can't identify.
On the drive there, we stopped at a fruit stand on the side of the road. We bought a pineapple, some weird-looking persimmons, some little, fresh bananas, a lime that was orange and some other things. We also had a fresh coconut cut for us so we could drink it and then we ate it. We saw geckos (like the Geico one) all over the place.
