Ah, another beautiful Hawaiian Saturday... as usual, we made it volleyball around 2pm, although we've added a couple of stops along the way now, and Saturday is becoming just as much about getting stuff done as about Volleyball. See, we deliver flowers along the way, so we have to get up early and pick them and process them, before packing everything in to the Jeep for the trip across the island. Now, we have found much better prices on produce at one of the farmer's markets along the way, so we stop there too and load up with veggies.
It had appearently been raining heavily on the east side that morning, but it had pretty much stopped by the time we got to the Banana Boyz farm. And, although it stayed overcast, it was pleasant and not too cold. We got started playing volleyball almost as soon as we got there, and the activity kept us warm!
But, I guess we never got around to mentioning to anyone that we were planning on leaving early to make dinner at a friends beach house at the end of the day. So, when we quickly re-packed the Jeep, and began to make our exit (taking the music with us, the Jeep being the sound system afterall) we got all sorts of confused and troubled looks of: "Why are you leaving?! Its only 5!
Ooops, Sorry everybody!
We arrived at the gated subdivision long enough before sunset to have a look around, and getting to eat dinner before the two hour drive home is a real treat. The beach house was a cute bungalow packed with several others around a cul-de-sac of ocean, where developers had built right out to the edge of the water back inthe days before such things were regulated and frowned upon. There was a very pleasant breeze and the sound of the ocean breaking against the lanai. Around the bungalows have been built salt water fish ponds, and we got to see our first Humuhumunukunukuapuaa. (It's pronounced HOO-moo-HOO-moo-NOO-koo-NOO-koo-AH-poo-AH-ah)
