3:30 am - I woke up and thought I was taking my last "breathe", which was barely a breathe at all... my throat and head were so congested that I couldn't stop coughing and had such a hoarse voice. I called my mom and probably scared her with my own anxiety... Meg watched me sleep on her couch for the next 3 hours and texted with Mom to let her know I was still breathing! Phew...
9 am - Meg and I went into her school (Wheeler Middle School) on Schofield Barracks to meet her student Lexi and get work done on her classroom. Lexi and I had a blast - check out her blog post below!
After watering the garden and worm farm at Wheeler, Meg and I were off to meet Aaron at Lanikai.
The drive on H3 through the mountains was AMAZING.... and we were able to see the "Stairway to Heaven" which is a forbidden hike that scales one of the tallest mountains.
Lanikai is the most beautiful beach I have ever seen:
Meg and I brought some local Kona beers and sandwiches, and waited for Aaron. We spent the next few hours lounging on the beach and catching up with Aaron! It was so good to see him and catch up.
Our adventure led us get a caffeine buzz at the Morning Brew in Kailua and find some super deals at the Brick A Brack section of Salvation Army. (We knew K would be excited to see the new colorful wine goblets we found. With my savy shopping skills, I was able to get us a 50% discount on $2 goblets!)
We met Jordan and Aurora for dinner at the Kona Brewing Company restaurant in Hawaii Kai.
KANAKATAK--> this is Pigeon (the local Hawaiian language) for the feeling one would get after eating a large meal, and feeling like a large, full, Hawaiian man.
KANAKA - person
We are all so unique with different personalities, characteristics, and reactions to our surroundings. Communication is so important to maintaining relationships and friendships. It is up to each person how they perceive and respond to one another to continue to build our relationships.
