Hawaii day 2






We went to Hanauma Bay in the morning for snorkeling fo Ernie, and beach sitting with a book for Joyce. Spectacular area and quite crowded. Huge bay, and very shallow reef. Probably not more than 3 or 4 feet deep anywhere. The water was warm, but slightly cloudy. Saw a fair amount of fish, but not like on the big island, or the area where we snorkeled on Kauai. I did see a couple of eels, and one big turtle.
After the beach we headed to Molly's Barbecue. Molly is from Texas, and has had the business here for about 10 years. I had a combo plate with beef briskit and pork ribs. The combo came with 3 sides plus cornbread. Joyce had the briskit sandwich. It was all very good!
After lunch we came back to the resort and relaxed, and in the late afternoon took a walk along the beach. We went to a place called Aloha Salads and got dinner to go. We ate outside at one of the many tables around the property.
Today we have a sales presentation to attend, and we are talking about going to the Punchbowl Crater National Cemetery where many of the Pearl Harbor dead are buried later this afternoon.
Aloha again, Ernie and Joyce

You guys missed one of the worst rainy days in Seattle! 1.25"of the wet stuff!! The sky was so dark, it looked like nighttime. I am so jealous you're in sunny, warm and beautiful Hawaii! We're rusting here...........
