A WALK ON THE BEACH AND A CARNIVAL

I like to walk on a beach in an area called around Diamond Head. It is kind of a beach more for beachcombing than swimming.

div> There are various lava flows and tide pools and big rocks on the beach. I had gone down to the beach from a different access point than my usual, and it required that I walk around quite a bit of sea wall that was only about a foot from where the water washed up. I was thinking about not getting my shoes any wetter than they were, and just as I rounded a corner I suddenly realized that the rock was about 2 feet in front of me was a seal. I immediately gave it a wide berth, because I know how fast they can move if they are annoyed.

Usually when one comes ashore here, which is common, someone comes down and puts a sign out to keep people away from it. This was pretty far away from where any of the signs were located to put out. I found them about a half mile on down the beach. I didn't bring one back though.
We went to Punahou festival last year, but this year it was so much more fun. This year I remembered to bring earplugs (this place is like an inescapable rock concert with speakers EVERYWHERE).


We bought enough script so we had enough money to spend on the Portuguese bean soup, malasadas, ice cream bars, and Hawaiian plate dinner. Malasadas are basically the best donuts you ever ate. The plate dinner had pork with spinach and wrapped in a ti leaf ( I think), pineapple, poi, ceviche, rice and coconut custard pudding. They had a duo playing regular and slack key guitar who were pretty good. Punahou school is President. Obama's alma mater which has only increased its already enormous prestige.
