Hawaii 2005

I took this shot of the church because
it's so cute. It sits right on the ocean and it's tiny. It has
about 8 pews

This is the top of the world. Mauna Kea is over 13,000 feet high. The air is thin up there
(I got light headed during our snowball fight). This is one of the observatories.

This is the Jeep we bought while we were there.

This is the apartment building we lived in

A Gecko.This guy and several of his friends wanted to share our apartment
with us. This particular picture was taken on our living room wall. Unfortunately,
this picture is life size.

Sunset at La'aola Park. In the foreground is one of many sacred sites.

Waipio Valley waterfalls. They're unbelievably high

This nitwit jumped off the cliffs at Southpoint- the southernmost tip of the U.S.

This palm tree is pretty neat looking. It's trunk is curly.

This couple were incredibly good surfers. She was doing acrobatic stunts on her mate's back-
while surfing.
