Whales

Yes, we finally saw some of those famous humback whales of Hawaii today. We drove up the Kohola coast a bit to the Mauna Lani and saw a few spouts and tails flapping. We then drove up for some beach time at Waianea Beach and all the good spots were taken so we went a bit further to Hapuna beach. There even the overflow lot was being used so we headed back down to Anaehuumalu, better know as 'A' beach down by the Hilton. Ron sunned and I swam a bit and we sat on the sand watching the whales seeming to play around as they were flipping tails and spouting and breaching. It was time for lunch so we headed down to the Four Seasons. They have an awesome location and we sat right on the beach at the beach bar and saw more whales. We tend to forget how pretty it can be up there and always sunny. It truly was a nice day.

I have to add a addendum to the blossom tale. Ron told me that on Thur morn as he walked out towards the orchard all he could hear was the hmmm hmmm hmmm of all the honey bees out there. They love those coffee blossoms. Sadly the hard rain turned them brown, no more snow. But now we saw blossoms on some of the higher elevation trees on our way back today.

I've had some requests from Canadians on my website for our coffee, so in the morning I'm off to the PO with an order to see how much to send them 2 pounds. We get a lot of Canadian visitors here and it will be nice to be able to get an idea if it's feasable. And happy birthday Haley, your birthday present will be on it's way also.
