For those of you who don't love to read and think my blog posts are too long, you're gonna like this post. It's gonna be short, to the point, and mostly pictorial. (I bet you kind of people are the type that watched the movie for your book reports rather than reading the book, which is horrific and criminal in nature, in my eyes. The book is ALWAYS better than the movie. Shame on y'all. Ok, I'll step off my soapbox now.)
On another hand, this post is also going to be short because somebody just sat down at the table behind me with some of the worst B.O. (body odor) I've ever smelled, and I'm trying not to vomit. Why are all the tables full right now?! I'm dying.
So yesterday we went to the most amazing beach I've been to as of yet in my life, Lanikai Beach, on the Windward (eastern) side of Oahu.
It's such a beautiful drive over there, because you take the Pali Highway through the Ko'olau Mountains, which are gorgeous. And when I say you go through them, I mean that literally. You go through two tunnels under them, which I find exciting, because I like tunnels. I don't know why, I just do. And yes, I still hold my breath in them. Because if you don't, you die or something, right? Anyway, so the beautiful drive is even more beautiful when you get to ride in a convertible, which we did, because we took Melissa S.'s car. If I lived here, I would absolutely, without a doubt, have a convertible. I'm glad Melissa S. has one for the short time I'm here.
Alright, enough of that. Lanikai Beach. Unbelievably beautiful. The sand is like powder. Or as Melissa S. describes it, "like walking on cocaine." I can assure you that she has never done or walked on cocaine. It's just an expression people, calm down.
So, without further ado, here it is (and the pictures don't really do it justice):

The whole motley crew, from left to right: Melissa E., Sierra, Melissa S., Me, and Lupe:
The rest of the day entailed a quick trip to Walmart, Ross (Hawaii has a ton of Ross stores, and they're so much better than the ones on the mainland, or the ones I've been to, at least), and dinner before Melissa E. took Sierra and Lupe to the airport. I was sad to see them go; they were really fun to hang out with this week.
No news on the moped front. The people I emailed yesterday have yet to contact me. Frustrating. I want that moped.
Today's been super lazy thus far, just drank some iced coffee and read a book this morning. Considered hopping on TheBus and riding down to Waikiki to read my book on the beach, but the weather's been crappy today. Hot, humid, and little rain showers every so often. So, I'll just keep on being lazy inside today. It's off to the library for more books after this post, because I've already torn through 3.5 of them in the past week.
So, this post turned out to be longer than I intended. Oopsies. (Don't kid yourself, I don't feel bad about it at all, actually. Writing this gives me something to do.) I'll try to do some cool things this last week I have off before starting work, so hopefully I'll have some good pictures and stuff to post. Love and miss y'all!
Hey hotstuff, wanna grab a drink with me later? ^_~
ReplyDeleteI bet you kind of people are the type that watched the movie for your book reports rather than reading the book, which is horrific and criminal in nature, in my eyes. The book is ALWAYS better than the movie. Shame on y'all. I find this statement absolutely hilarious. Mostly because I think the same thing, but also because I can totally hear you saying it. kkk
And by the way, you have the same number of followers in one week that I've obtained over two years. So :P
