We went hiking on the Kalalau Trail, which is like 8 miles long if you do the whole thing. We, however, only did the first leg, into a secluded beach where hippies camp out frequently. Despite this, it was gorgeous and did not smell like patchouli oil. The hike wasn't crazy difficult, but it was long and uphill both ways (how does that work?) and definitely not easy. I feel on my ass a few times on the way back down, proving that I am not as outdoors-y as I may have thought (this must be why I was a horrible boyscout, and eventual dropout):
But it was worth it for views like this:
And this:
And despite this warning:
I had some fun:
And to top it all off, Blondie and I went to our favorite sushi place (and home of the as yet to be named "best Mai Tai") Hanalei Dolphin. And much to my chagrin, she finally got me to wear the Hawaiian shirt she bought me:
oh god, please take my eyes, but not the shirt!
So it's been a riot of a time. I'll do a bunch of recaps and reflections from the road/home. But one more thing before I start my return home; something of particular interest to me. I've been eating it on sandwiches the whole time, but I just noticed that Hellman's (the ONLY kind of mayonnaise) is called "Best Food" out here. Weird right?

fun fact; hellman's is actually called best foods many spots west of the mississippi. have encountered and devoured it in colorado and wyoming, for sure. its also manufactured by hellmans, not just a logo rip.
