The other day I decided to take a walk on Tantalus drive.  I was taking photos for a brochure of a road that went through a tropical rainforest.    So, I put a bottle of water in my day pack, along with a poncho and camera stuff and set out.  It was a ten mile walk, which was do-able in a day.  

So, I hopped on the bus which took me to the border of the residential part of the drive to the outskirts and started the trek.  

Here are some photos.  
I missed a couple shots of kids on longboard skateboards screaming down the road.  It looked awesome fun.     And to prove what a small island this is... when I went to the Bike Factory store on Cooke street, one of the kids working there recognized me from my walk.  He was one of the kids on the skateboards who waved as they sped by in a blur.  I was there to get some stuff for a camera I want to attach to a kite and honestly looked at their skateboard selection with wistful eyes.  

Yesterday, I went snorkeling with some dolphins and then filmed some folks from Mexican soap operas surfing in Wakiki.  I'll post some video as soon as the computer finishes doing some of its mumbo jumbo magic.     Oh, and I bought some ingredients to make some chocolate chip cookies from scratch.  

Besides baking a batch of cookies this weekend.  I'm thinking of just going to the beach and filming waves crashing against rocks.  I'm thinking it would be nifty to just put them on the flat screen in your living room and pretend it's a big window.  Heck, put curtains on either side or even open venetian blinds in front of the screen to make it more windowy.   No, windowy isn't a word.   This would give me an excuse to sit on the beach for a few hours and just enjoy the moment.

Thanks for checking in.  Hope life is wonderful in your neck of the woods.
