Wednesday && Thursday

Wednesday.

Lindsey and I (Julia) decided to start our day early with a trip to the Aloha Flea Market where we found endless amounts of junk with the occasional treasure hidden amongst the mess. After a long morning of exploring the flea market we worked up an appetite and decided to get some grub before our snorkeling trek!!! We enjoyed a delicious meal with Luke and Will, and then a friendly man in a sketchy unmarked van offered to take us to Hanauma Bay. He told us $5, and we said no thanks, and then he came back and said $3 and we said okay!

We arrived safely at Hanauma Bay and were ready to hit the reef! It was so much fun snorkeling, and we forgot to mention our most important purchase of the morning was snorkeling gear from the flea market! Needless to say our masks leaked but we saw so many beautiful fish, and even got to swim with/pet/chase giant sea turtles! It was a great day.

After making a delicious meal at home after a long adventurous day, we walked to a nearby field to enjoy the stars once again amongst the glow of the city lights. 

Thursday. 

Lindsey's summer class led her on a trek up to North Shore to embrace different cultures at the Hawaiian Polynesian Cultural Center. Kendra and Will decided to accompany her on her journey and hit the beach while Lindsey enjoyed her learning experience. She felt like the ultimate tourist, but really enjoyed her day of learning and she can even crack open a coconut all by herself! If you would like a hula dancing demonstration Lindsey is your girl. 

While the others were enjoying a day in North Shore, Julia and Brendan studied, worked, surfed, and almost played tennis. It was a great day!

Thursday night came fast and ended up being like most nights around the apartment where everyone falls asleep in the living room on the floor.

Well today is Friday and it looks like were heading to the beach so be on the look out for our next blog! We miss everyone and send our love and some Aloha Spirit along your way!
