Today was an adventure day. We drove north from our vacation home for about an hour and a half. We stopped about half way through to deal with the hunger we had built up since breakfast 90 minutes ago and our smallest passenger had just about enough of the car ride. We stopped in a town of Wanamea, or soemthing like that, and serendipitously joined them for their cherry blossom festival. Took us forever to find a parking spot. Once we did however and started walking around it seemed like a quaint festival that you would find in rural America.
We found a nice little restaurant where the food was quite good. One of the better meals, if not the best we had in Hawaii. Luna restaurant I believe it was called.
Once we done we hit the road where we ended up at a place where a 30 minute hike took you to the bottom of the hill where a secluded beach lay. My wife and I went down leaving the young one with the grandparents. At the bottom was a black sand beach where I tried to take artistic photographs that captured the beauty of the island ... And my wife.
The way back was a steep climb. We took it as a challenge, seeing how many people we could pass on the way up. Lori did quite well and never had to stop what was supposed to be a 45 min walk up was an 18 minute trek up the hill. I was sweating like a mad man, much like the guy looking for the perfect getaway on the Expedia commercial. Except g'nite sweaty and less hairy.
I like the exertion accompanied by the view that comes at the end. I think most people do. Don't really know why that's the case. I'm sure there are some good "stories" that explain this, but I'd like some scientific explanation.
