More Pics of Hawai'i

This is at Waimea Canyon. The drive up to the canyon was desert and dry and it looked a lot like UTAH...But at least the humidity told us we were in Hawai'i. This is much like a little Grand Canyon. And it is breathtaking. And so are TJ and I.


On our last jaunt we sat on a pier to watch a cruise ship go sailing out of the bay. And then we realized that there were maybe ten or twenty sea turtles right in front of us. ("It was either ten or twenty I don't know") The Hawaiian name for sea turtles is Honu. They are so cute.


This is a picture of the FORBIDDEN ISLAND, Ni'ihau. Apparently this place was purchased by some European family in the early eighteen hundreds. And they have not done a single thing with it. They say that if you land on the shore of Ni'ihau you will be promptly asked to leave. If you do not leave a gargantuan Hawaiian man will forcibly ask you to leave.


We sat under a tree to read and I looked up to see this. (Sigh)


This was at Queen's Bath as well. Aw!!! Cute.
