Alicia left this week. Her visiting was wonderful for me as I got to reconnect and form a new friendship with my best friend's twin. Her departure reminded me that my own would soon follow. I do not want to leave this beautiful place - with it's breathtaking views, agreeable climate, culture, food, and of course, Janine!
I spend most of Friday running errands with Janine and catching up, talking about her life post D-Day and what our futures hold in store. Alicia is engaged and soon to be married, so we talk about that and dolphins, relationships, my mother's illness. I wish I had more time here, and yet I know it is time for me to get back to my own life.
Saturday I finally hit my goal of running for the entire length of a 5K. Janine and I take our snorkeling gear to Shark's Cove despite the clouds and threatening drizzle, and see the most amazing tropical fish and coral, alive and thriving. So many kinds! I will have to remember to bring an underwater camera when I come back to visit again. After snorkeling we carefully picked our way around the jagged edges of the cove, named Shark Cove for it's fin-like protrusions, and look in shallows for interesting marine life.We grab dinner at Whole Foods on the way back and heat to Kailua Beach to watch the sun set.
