hawaiian sunsets October 14, 2007

meg’s trip
day five:

this morning (and by morning i mean
11am) we started off by going to
waikiki to look for uncle tommy, a
surf instructor my golf coach recommended.
we did not find tommy, but we found uncle
gill and had a nice stroll through waikiki.

oh, before we went to waikiki i had to comfort
julie.  she has had to work most days and has
missed out on the fun times being had by me
and meg.  she was sad, so we had to pause and
give her some love.

then we drove to kailua for another
afternoon of fun on the beach. we
picked up teddy’s for lunch and ate
it on the beach.  it was dreamy,
but windy!

we played with the pink raft, we rode
the waves on the boogie board, and
then we body surfed! i hadn’t ever
really body surfed.  meg gave me a
quick lesson and by the end we were
body surfing like pros! 

then we zoomed home to get ready for the
luau.  the luau was beautiful!  the sun was
setting and an orangish pinkish glow hung
in the sky and illuminated all the faces of
those turned toward it.  it was breathtaking.
meg and i had to step out of the crowd, go to
the edge of the water, and just stare at it for a
while… silent…in awe.

the food, the hula, the hawaiian music,
the beautiful lagoon where the luau was
set, and the fun traditional hawaiian
activities…..
it’s all so wonderfully hawaiian and so
wonderfully dreamy. 

           

i love luaus!!!
