Adventures

Sorry it has been so long since my last post but I have had some technical difficulty with posting pictures. My former roommate came to visit me. We decided to spend our Memorial Day hiking a waterfall. Jake, Bethany, Rhonda, Ashley, and I all went up to Maunawili Falls. It was a beautiful hike 2.6 mile hike. It was kind of funny because we had a contest to see who would be able to guess how long the hike was and I guessed 2.6 miles. It was correct and Jake or Bethany did not believe that I was able to guess it. They had fun making fun of me for that. (I really guessed Bethany, Honest!) When we got to the bottom of the falls it was very crowded. Their were so many people that had the same idea to go hiking just like us. Their were people jumping off the waterfall from about 50 feet off the waterfall. It was so much fun watching all the people. If their was not that many people their we would have jumped but it was too crowded. Maybe next time!
After our hike Jake and Bethany took us to their favorite restaurant. It was Saimin(which is fancy Roman). This is a Japanese delicacy. I was not a fan of the restaurant but it was a fun experience to eat some local food. Pictured is Bethany in front of her favorite restaurant. After lunch we went kayaking on Hickim Harbor and was able to see a lot of cool trees and scenes.
Another day, we went on a hunt to find out where the TV show "Lost" is filmed. While on our treks to the "Lost" site, we saw some wind surfers in the water. It was so cool watching them. They make it look so easy. Maybe I can try it one day.
This is the actual beach that "Lost" is filmed on. It is really pretty and secluded. We ended up walking a few miles down the beach so that we could see as much as we could. Rob and Marie, this picture is for you and your love of the show. I hope you all enjoy! I will be posting more of my trip to the Big Island and more of Ashley's visit. Stay tuned!
