We rode over to the North Shore of the island. This is the surfing mecca of the world I guess.
My Sweetie knows all about this sort of thing, having grown up on the California coast. But the legendary surf was not cooperating, and we missed those 20ft. waves. We did enjoy a dip in what surf there was. The water is so clear you can see the bottom even when you're out deep, and the waves were still quite powerful, but fun.
Here you can see how some folks live on this Tropical Paradise amid the palm trees overlooking the best surfing beaches. Looks rough, doesn't it.After a nice swim, we hit the tourist places for a bite to eat. Couldn't pass up this shot of this Surfmobile here. Pretty flashy. My Sweetie and I took in a couple Art Galleries, where Young Daughter bought a couple small prints to hang on the wall at home. I got me a Conch Shell, now I have to learn how to blow it.
Well, as they say, all good things must come to an end. It's been great, but it's time to leave this Island Paradise, and head back to reality, work, and school. The airport thing is a drag, but in truth, it will be good to be home.
Aloha.

All good things must come to an end. This is just how it is.
blowing a conch shell is not hard. You have to "buzz" your lips. Make a tight straight line "smile" and while keeping your lips tightly pressed together blow air through them. You should get a "fart" sound.
Now do that with the shell up to your lips. You should not have to press the shell tightly in your lips.
with practice you can get more than one tone out of it.
awesome pictures! looks like u guys had sooo much fun! soon u will be back in ur own beds though! :)
