Sunday

Today we spent the day on the world famous North Shore. This is a really cool area on the north side of Oahu that is considered one of the best places in the world for surfing. When we first got up there we came across a little farmers market that we stopped at that was cool. Next, we went to a bunch of cool little shops with souvenirs and hawaiian themed decor and art. For lunch we went to Giovanni's Shrimp Truck. There are several of these set up along the road and this is supposed to be the best. You just walk up and order and they have some tables set up around it. We had some awesome garlic shrimp. It is peel and eat and super messy. Next, we went to the beach for a while. We went to where there was a beach with lots of surfers. The waves aren't as good this time of year but they are still able to surf. It was really fun to watch the big waves and surfers. After we left that beach we went to another one down the road where the sea turtles beach. You never know if they are going to be on the beach or not but we got lucky. There was one up on the shore sunning. It was really fun to see it. There were some swimming in the water near the beach also. After a little while it scooted back into the water and was gone. I got some videos of it but I will have to wait until I get back home to put those up on the blog. On the way back home, we stopped by the Dole Plantation. It is mostly a tourist trap but we had some pretty good pineapple ice cream there.







The turtle had a transponder on it so they can track it.


That is Margo and I standing on the rock.


Tomorrow we fly to the Big Island for a couple days. We are mainly going there to go to Volcanoes National Park but we have several other things to see there as well. We will not be able to blog until we get back.
