Hawai'i Day Two

You may be wondering why I spelled it "Hawai'i" instead of "Hawaii". Well that's how people spell it here, and I figured the whole when in Rome saying applied here too. 

The morning started off with an AMAZING breakfast. I even tried something new for a change and actually mostly liked it! Afterwards we loaded up on buses and departed for Secret Island. Our bus driver was the best and told us many things.

Banana Trees!




You can't tell from the picture, but their license plates all have rainbows on them.
Fun Fact: that's because rainbows are seen everyday here

Beatiful






In Minnesota you'd never see an older gentleman with shorts this short!




Before we go to the boat we met up with this guy, who taught us more and was really funny!


Making fire with nothing but two sticks and coconut fibers!

Posing for the camers


Shelling a coconut

The shelled coconut



 After he shelled it and cracked it open he called me to the stage...

Ya...I'm in a dress...

Drinking coconut milk. Reminds me of 3rd grade

Afterwards he gave me and three other girls headband things made out of the leaf of a tree with a flower on  it. The side that the flower's on means something. On the left-I'm married or taken. Right-I'm single adn ready to mingle. Middle front-I'm an open relationship. Back-basically, let's get it on!

My headband.
He made Emma run for hers

Then we hopped on the boat and went to Secret Island. While there I learned that I'm pretty boss at paddle boarding. I'm still trying to convince Gundy that the band needs one. Haha. 

I also took out my goggles and snorkel and checked out the coral. If you're calm the fish will come out and swim around you!




When we first got there, there was a group of 7th graders crowded around the swing. They were trying to see who could climb it using only upper body strength. I did it! It was really fun.









On our way back one of our buses had a spot of trouble and started smoking...


They had to call a fire truck

You can't see him but there's also a cop

Once we go to hotel i took some pictures of our room:


Spent the morning watching Japanese TV







Ya, a second balcony

We marched in the Merry Monarch Parade. Had a meeting then walked around looking for food. After two hours we found Wally! He was selling cookies. In my next post I'll have more about him up and put a link to his websites!

I GOT A JOB

So in my last post I talked about how I was thinking about doing a home baking thing. I went to the Armory to give Sergeant Nelson a cupcake. Side note: A couple weeks ago I had made cupcakes and brought some over for the guys but he hadn't been there that day and therefor didn't get any, which is why I brought one today since I had baked this weekend. Side-side note: They were maple pancake cupcakes with maple butter cream frosting. All homemade. He was in a meeting so I was waiting in the, I don't know, building entrance area(?) I met this woman who was waiting for a her meeting. Side note: Turns out that due to weather her meeting had been canceled and she just hadn't been told. We started talking and she told me that she was here to talk about a party for the US that she was planning for Sunday the weekend before the fourth. So we got to talking about and she was telling me about what food she was thinking of and, I kid you not, a lig...

How Rude!

Mother Nature must be in a terrible mood. Just today we've gotten 5-8 inches with more to come tonight. Wait a second *runs to window* fat flakes are still falling from the sky! Maybe I'll just keep this short and go skiing instead... Nothing special really happened today, but there was something that I wanted to share. I just can't remember what it was...I'll remember later! Well I found out that I won't be able to go tomorrow. It;s a real bummer cause I was really looking forwards to it. I mean really looking forward to it. I was so excited I couldn't sit in class! The fact that it's now an impossibility brings a sadness to my life. It'll pass by Saturday and it's not a true sadness. It's more of the fact that I can feel this great chance at something I might never get to do again, at meeting my idol, passing me by.  Oh well. Life's full of opportunity. Maybe one day this chance will come again and I'll be able to take full advantage ...

Random bits and pieces of stuff

WARNING: There are a lot of pictures While biking with Nick we stopped at the Continental divide, and as we stood there trying to figure out how to tell the other that we should turn back this bike adventure hurts, we heard some snowmobilers. The sound alone was enough for Nick to launch into a rant about snowmobilers, who he, I now know, hates. Well they came up behind us and crossed the road a few feet away from where we were. For some reason there was a large group of them too, I mean since when do they don things in groups? Anyways, as soon as Nick says "They're a bunch of d**ches!" the biggest one goes by. He stops, shuts off the snowmobile and starts walking towards us. We freaked out! I was thinking "Holy fudge knuckles! He heard him!!!", just as Nick says,"Let's go South!" We headed South. Fast. The reason we went South was because it's take us away from the snowmobiler, and farther away from town. That's the reason we kept going,...
