Wednesday

Thunderous surf and a tight belly. . . .the cold continues, although without rain today. oh, the relief! After breakfast we head down the hill into Hanalei town and park near the Pines for a stroll.

It is windy due to the high surf and yet we manage to get a couple of miles in. We drive to the Black Pot to stroll the pier and consider eating at Pat's Taquiera Truck. We buy a steak and veggie burrito plas a fish taco, I love the juice mayo flavor:)
Dan wants to visit the Lighthouse so we roll on. I am so cold. The temp is about 68. and it calls for long sleeves. . . we are unprepared to be chilly. The lighthouse is nice; the price is right with my handicapped access pass.
Once home I am ready to seek some sun at the pool. There is also space to work on the bones of my manuscript. Dan comes along with a Coors fruit juice thirst quencher and it's time to dress for the Duke vs North Carolina game. Dan quips, " If God is not a Tarheel, then why is the sky Carolina Blue?"Midway through the game which we are viewing at the Hanalei Gourmet, I realize my curlers are still plugged in! We hurry home  for the second half and are delighted to catch a few pairs of albatross doing their mating dance on our lawn! Dan manages to approach for a video. Hopefully to post to UTube and download here.
Here is another sweet photo of a mother hen who has tucked her chicks into the safety of a tree trunk hollow. . .

We return to the Gourmet for dinner and a glass of wine and our hope of star gazing is not realized: too cloudy. It's early to bed. . . .
