#64 - papa'iloa

man i was feeling so lazy today... well, after my first full week back to work, i kinda just wanted to sit on my ass all day catching up on dvr recordings (especially the quarters and semis of the acura classic with maria... hot hot... sharapova). but taking a glance outside how could i possibly let this bee-u-ti-ful summer day go to waste on anytime tv? alas, called the surf report and it was flat all over. blah. so i decided to take a tourist day and head up to the north shore for some snorkeling/sand-lying-on activities somewhere beyond pupukea. for some reason though traffic was backed up way past kawailoa so i took an early exit and went to papa'iloa instead. k
man, i'm completely jealous at the houses lining the beach... what does it take to get to live in one of those houses and see this every morning?
i think i was a good decision to stop off at papa'iloa, hardly anyone there... which is exactly what i was looking for after being trapped in this house with people frickin' everywhere i turn! ghaa! i gotta move out... only two more months... hopefully.
turtles were out in force too... didn't get any pictures though, because they actually look pretty gross, especially when they're out of the water, at least in the water they look kinda shiny, but not that nice. OH, and i also saw a seal taking a sun break down the beach. i tried to take a pic but it was too far away and then it took off right after that so oh well.
anyway, it was fun day out at the beach, just me and mr. sun-baked crab being out in the sun and (lack of) surf. actually, after taking these pics, i drove on back to ali'i beach for some snorkeling (i saw some stickfish, a couple wrasses, several puffa-fish, another turtle, some fat weke, and even a little papio) and laying around on the sand, by the way i finally got around to reading a little bit of that carl sagan book that i started about two years ago and never got even halfway through. so, all in all, good day.
