This was a rather busy week for us in Hawaii as our time here comes to an end. We've gotten to meet a lot of wonderful people and enjoy the beauty on this Island. It really has been an amazing time. Among my fav's this week are:
1. Sleeping with the windows open. Wide open. And hearing all the sounds in the night. Since I go to bed early when I can, I often drift off to sleep while listening to people talk on the street or the sound of children playing (its Spring Break week in Hawaii). In the morning I wake to the birds. And the rustle of palm trees. Lovely.
2. Dim Sum. Its kind of like a Chinese tea party, a variety of dumplings and small foods that they serve in the mornings before noon. We've had that a couple of times this week and sampled some delicious things. My favorite remains the steamed shrimp dumpling and Cha Siu Bao, the pork buns, but I like it all.
3. Amazing Sunsets. This week we saw the sun set over Pearl Harbor and then we caught it again at Magic Island. Pictures don't do it justice.
4. Walks on the beach. We are staying about half a mile from the beach so Bob and I try to walk there every day for at least a little while. We always manage to meet some interesting people along the way. Most days we walk out on a jetty and look at the fish, they are so colorful here.
5. Fuss free hair. Its great to have short, curly hair that is not messed up by the wind or the rain. First time for me, but I am really enjoying it. Sometimes I forget what my hairstyle is and I have reached up to protect my hair in the wind or worried about my hair in the rain. . . . but only sleep seems to really destroy my new "look" right now. Its a nice change.
Hawaii has been great, but as with any extended time away from home, I am eager to get back to see my kids and my cat and have some sort of routine again. . . until the next change in our life.
