This is a picture of me waking up, just before Justin surprised me with "real" diamond earrings on our first morning there. Isn't that an awesome place to wake up?
For breakfast that morning we walked about 100 yards up the road to a little store, called Kaya's store and kitchen, where we got breakfast. Here is Justin with his spam musubi (fried spam, rice, egg, wrapped in seaweed) a local breakfast treat. I had all those ingredients, except the seaweed, served on a styrofoam tray (like the one we buy meat on). It was good, I was sceptical, but pleasantly surprised, and we didn't contract any weird diseases that we know of. I love this little church across the street from the store, right behind that is the beach!
After breakfast we went to "our beach" and hung out for the morning. I mostly waded around, and sat on the beach chair. Justin snorkeled and explored all morning.

In this picture you can see how far out the waves break on the reef. About 200 yards out from the beach the water is shallow, and clear. I loved it, no waves knocking you over, or with "scary" things hiding in them. That's Justin waving!
We ate at a place in La'ie called Papa Ole's, very local food, and it ended up being our favorite place for a mix plate (usually terryaki beef, rice, and mac salad). I think we ate there 4 or 5 times. We were looking at some flowers they had there in a bowl of water and they gave me one, so I stuck it behind my ear. I wish we could have brought some smells and sounds back with us!
We went to the famous La'ie point to the hole in the rock. It was rainy and overcast, but we watched some locals jump from the rock, which was very entertaining!
That afternoon we drove up North to Haleiwa and went to the famous Surf and Sea store, and got our first shave ice, we were so excited about it that we took lots of pics of it.
Justin eating his shave ice, with "Surf and Sea" behind him, across the street.
Sitting by the sign.
In front of the surf shop boards.
"Sandy feet" at sunset at Haleiwa beach.
Beautiful sunset! We had to have more shave ice!
This is a sweet shot of a guy on his paddle board in the sunset.
This conlcudes our second day there, stay tuned for more!!!

I am so jealous. Green with envy.
I love that in the first picture you can see what you're looking at in the reflection of the window. I also love your sandy feet picture. It looks like you had zero amounts of fun.
oh I want to go to Hawaii!!!
Looks like you had a blast :)
