key words=bike tour base, beach, l&L, ross, trek, dinner
this was my last day in hawaii (ha-va-eeee!) and what was surprising with this visit was it wasn't my normal go go go route. it was just enjoying what i was doing. planning(am such a planner!) for the next activity and if it doesn't happen - all is swell. and i basically just enjoy the island's spirit. it was pure relaxation.
i went to the marine base in kaneohe bay. mostly hangout at their beach which had a surfing event. people watching was a trip. checkout the base exchange store. the merchandise prices were much lower from the outside. what a difference! a few floral sterling hawaiian inspired jewelry caught my eye. and yes those macadamia nut chocolates. and proceeded to witness a bike tournament. the participants were from all over the island with their sponsors. i am finding hawaii to be so much into fitness. this was a perfect sunday to spend.
though we have l&l hawaiian barbecue in san diego i still had 'em for lunch. musubi was being offered. musubi is sticky rice with spam almost like sushi. spam is such a popular food choice here that i had ordered spam for breakfast in mcdonald's. (remember try everything local).

(homemade musubi/my first = Yeah!)
i was bent on trekking the lush green mountain behind rex place except for one little issue - i did not bring my outdoor shoe. off i go to ross to get a keds shoes that will do for a day trek. the top of the mountain has a pillbox from past wars. this was really a cool climb and just the view on top is worth the trip. saw some kids climbing barefooted and as young as my son rhett. isn't that just what matters -nature and you.
i have been evading thai food since my husband got back from a thailand holiday late last year. thai food is one of my fave foods. not for the spiciness of it but i guess i like the coconut flavor, reliable pad thai noodle and sticky rice with mango dessert. why the evasion? that is another drama. anyways, it was time for the big step and took a deep breath and said i can do this?! had thai dinner with my host and wonderful conversation.
