I left out a few things worth mentioning:
+Hawaii is 5 hours behind Texas. Call us at your lunch time or later :o).
+Have we mentioned the ginormous mountains we drive through on the freeways? The tunnels are fun, but the "escape routes for runaway trucks" that lose control going downhill, makes me a tad nervous. It had just rained in this pic, and you can see the small waterfall between the crevasses
+ The Weather - it never changes year round. I can't get over it coming from Texas where you can have a 20 degree difference in 2 days. You have occasional rain, but that's it. The high ranges between 75 and 85. Wish I had the weatherman's job!
+The food- common at home meals here are pulled pork, shoyu chicken, various Japanese dishes, local fish, and unfortunately Spam. Everyone makes great rice in their rice cooker. I learned how to and love it, after being made fun of for my minute rice :0).
+In all the towns near the beach (including ours), there is a major homeless problem. It's really sad. There is no where for them to go and they can't afford a way out. It's a smart place to live - public restrooms and showers on the beach and always great weather. Some don't want to be helped, but my heart breaks for the ones who do. Wishing there was something we could do.
Here are a few pics from the waterfall we climbed to last week
