Last week while paddling we thought we saw a pod of dolphins, but then realized they weren't swimming like dolphins. After stopping and taking a closer look it was a whole school of manta rays. They were probably feeding on some plankton and when they swim on top of the water one wing seems to stick out and looks like a dolphins but then they flicked their tail the mystery was over. May 3rd was our first anniversay here and we celebrated up to the Hilton with friends for dinner and went to a Sugarland concert. It was outside and it only rains about 10 inches a year up in Wiakoloa where the Hilton is located. Well just before the concert started I think they got the whole spring rain. We had a small water resistant covering with us and we didn't get soaked, but close. How wonderful to be in weather where it really doean't matter. The show went on, we were in barefeet and our clothers dried before it was over. And Jennifer Nettles and the rest of Sugarland put on a great show. Great songs and very entertaining!
I also don't think it is as warm as it was when we arrived last year. I go in the ocean to water jog weekly and the water seemed to be the coldest in April. We need some warm spring weather to warm that ocean up. And I also believe the rainy season is finally upon us. As it should be. Winter is dry and now the rains are coming and is that coffee ever growing. The green beans are getting larger and larger and we think that we will be picking very, very soon. We see a few scattered red beans even now. So I'll bet Ron tries a picking before we leave for TN & MI in June.
Meanwhile today we are heading off for a little R&R. Taking a week in Sedona, AZ. Finally convinced Ron that those beans could ripen on their own.
