Resonant Constellation

8:30 PM (HI)
Today has been a relatively quiet day, though we did get our first look at the island in sunlight. It is truly amazing-every picture you see of Hawaii is entirely correct-these are not staged nor rare-it seems that the entire island looks like this. I probably spent an hour just watching the waves crash into the rocky beach in the small bay next from our deck. There is something about the ocean that is entirely hypnotizing.

We went for dinner at a wonderful restaurant just up the coast, and had seats right at the water’s edge. Periodically through the meal (which was excellent), large waves would crash into the rocks below us and shower us with sea mist. We watched an incredible sunset over the western pacific. The golden-red sunlight reflecting off of the water, the light blue of the foam, and the sea-green of the ocean contrasted perfectly. I’m still kicking myself for leaving my camera in the condo.

Eventually, the sun went down and we finished dinner. I had a coffee with desert, and it turned out to be one of the best cups of coffee I have ever had (french press 100% Kona coffee, which I’m sure was completely fresh). I’m going to have to bring some back.

And now we’re watching Mythbusters on TV before bed. Tomorrow we’re taking a submarine ride and going to a Luau. I, personally, can’t wait.
