The weeks are just flying by. When I try to remember what I did just last week it is a blur...... I did however make it out to a local garden called the Foster Botanical Garden. It is a pretty little garden with some crazy weird trees and lots of flowers. I took this trip during the week so I was solo.
I had no idea this is how they harvested vanilla.

On Saturday we had this grand plan of getting up early to go snorkeling. Many people have told us that the best time to go snorkeling is in the early morning. We got up early and headed out out Hanauma Bay to snorkel. The snorkeling was pretty good. The only complaint was the rain. After snorkeling for a while we decided to go for a hike. The hike we did was called the pillboxes at Lanikai. This is on the east side of the island and it was a beautiful hike along the ridges over looking the windward side of Oahu.
The land here is so dense. I am still in awe over how beautiful and green the woods are.
Oh almost forgot....one thing I can check off my list of firsts is that I went to a movie alone for the first time. I saw The Green Lantern. It wasn't as awkward as I thought it would be. One positive thing about living in a place where you know absolutely no body and you have a lot of free time is, you learn how to be content with being alone and going and exploring things alone. I have really stretched myself outside of my comfort zone, and its been great.
