Sunshiny Days Off

I had Tuesday off from work--I was supposed to be trudging through the Haleakala crater, but since we got rained out, I spent Tuesday getting bendy at yoga in the morning and then spent the afternoon at Black Rock.

On my first dip in the ocean, I dove down and retrieved these sweet Von Zipper shades that someone lost on their swim:

After soaking up too much sun on the beach, I retreated to the shade under the palm trees at Ka'anapali Beach Hotel.

I enjoyed their trees, their shade...and possibly one of their lawn chairs.

Lazy Day Off

It's been a while since I've posted a T-Bone sighting.  He still snoozes on our lanai when it's still shady during the day, but he's been spending most of his time hiding down in the pit that runs alongside the back of the yard (where those wayward kittens from many months back were hunkered down in).  In fact, that's where he spent most of the Flossie storm.  Will said that T-Bone was not at all interested in staying inside during the storm.  What a weirdo.

I got an early start and made it to Choice Health Bar for a freshly squeezed juice (carrots, beet, ginger, cucumber!) before heading up north for a swim sesh with a friend.

I was aiming for my old favorite, Kapalua Bay--but the parking was overflowing.  We continued forward to Cliffhouse--a swimming spot I still haven't explored, but the wind was too crazy to consider jumping in safely.  So we backtracked to Napili Bay--and it was absolutely perfect.

Gorgeous turquoise waters with maximum visibility and lots of fishy friends under the water.

On our way home from the beach, I stopped at the Honokowai Farmer's Market and picked up a mock chicken salad wrap for lunch and brussels sprouts and pasta sauce for dinner tonight.

Now, I'm about to get offline and wait out this heat wave reading a new book.
