Day Too – Relaxation on the Beach

It must have been 4:30 when Kim stirred and got up. It was around 10:30 for us. We tried to back to sleep, but we were pretty much awake. We could just see some light starting to show outside, so we grabbed the camera and went to the beach. Our B&B, the Manu Mele in Kailua, is about a hundred feet to the beach. There is a trail between housing developments for beach access.



We walked the beach and watched the sun rise. It was beautiful. We walked quite a way before we returned to the hotel. After a short nap, we walked on the beach to Kailua Town. You could see where there were the tourists were staying. There would be long stretches of beach that were vacant and suddenly there would be a mass of people.

In one of these masses of people, we saw something that should violate pet etiquette. If your dog wants to poo, you should move it away from the waterline where everyone swims. As a wave came in, the dog made its drop and a mad dash to dryer land. This left the owner trying to pick up the droppings. As we went by, we could still see a few Baby Ruth’s still floating in the pool.

One of Jon’s favorite treats is Hawaiian Shaved Ice. Here in Hawaii, they simply call it Shaved Ice. He had two at lunch.

The owner of the B&B, Carol, told us that Obama stays in a house down the street when he is in Hawaii. The house is now up for sale and they were having an open house today. Kim and I went to take a look. We had to look like interested buyers. The sale price was 7.9 million. If we hit the lottery, we may be interested. The views out of the master bedroom and living room were awesome. They looked out on the beach. There must have been seven or eight spare bedrooms on a long hallway. Each had their own bath. One of the baths had a full length window next to the wall between properties. I’m not so sure I would trust the neighbors each time I took a shower.

Supper was at Buzz’s Steakhouse. We had a small table wedged into a corner next to a high traffic area. It was busy for the entire meal. Our meal was very good. How can steak be bad?
