Waking up this morning was no problem whatsoever thanks to the waves slamming against the rocks. In fact falling asleep was the problem. Unreal how loud the waves were against the rocks. Then again sleeping about 20 feet from them probabaly didnt help. But we were up and ate our quick breakfast of chips dipped in nutela and pbj.  Then we headed over to the other side of the bay to snorkle. 

The fish here were the big yellow ones and black with orange spot ones and random others. The coral was a lot better than our turtle bay but still nothing that was too exciting for me. Especially considering they boasted best in state. Bah. Maybe over where the dolphins were. I ended up not getting a chance to snorkle with the dolphins :( but at least Sara go to see them for us. The reason was because we ran into some locals that were jumping off a high ledge right where we were swimming so we joined them. So much fun but after all the snorkling and swimming I felt at least 300lbs on shore. 

We met up with with the girl and guy later and we all drove to grab some food. And wouldnt you know it, pizza at last! Local pies. Some veggie with feta, basil pesto, and peporoni. Yummo. And the guy even paid for us. Booyah. Food was just in time too cause of our poor excuse for breakfast. 

After food we headed to a house of a friend of the girl (Merav) we were with. They were going to have a ukelele jam session or something and asked us to come with. Take note Im in my togs(Queens Australia term for bathing costume or swim suit if you still dont follow) and flip flops still, no shirt or money or anything but snorkling gear. But at least no shirt is very common here, not that I was worried. It was nice being in a house again but odd too because the road has been our home for so long. They had clash of the titans on too, which I still havent seen. 

Outside they had started the jamming so we went out there. It was really fun and they sounded great. Oh! When we walked into the house we immediately saw this guy that we asked for a ride from at the grocery store the previous day. He turned us down of course saying he lived right up the street. Haha it was so awkward but we were cracking up because he had this look on his face when he saw us and we all met officially this time. What a small random world I live in now. But he came out later and rapped a bit to the 2 ukes that were playing. Good stuff. A second later I look over in their garden and see tomato plants, some flowers, some melons and then bam, jagged leaves. Yes Im looking at the lady herself, Mary J. 8 of them. Never really seen a live plant before, much less just right there in someones front yard! Haha I know yall are probably freaking but let me explain. EVERYONE in Hawaii smokes pot. Everyone. And 
most people have medical cards which allows them to carry up to 3ozs and grow up to 8 plants. So its very common apparently to see this but it was just our first time too actually see it here. We met the older guy who was growing and he answered our plethora of questions about it all and even showed us his private grow collection of clones and stuff. Very interesting herbology class we found ourselves in haha. 

Next we found ourselves watching 2012 and when it was over we got dropped back off at our bay. We ran into Uncle Lawrence and chatted with him for a bit. He gave us food when left too! Great guy him. Without a flashlight we started to feel our way a couple hundred yards into the woods and shoreline where our stuff was hidden. Not fun. But we found it at last and set up camp. We ate our chicken wraps and passed out soonly, stomachs full for once.
