Postcards from Hawai'i

Shark's Cove is up the road from where we are staying. The area is known for its excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities.





So we went there this morning to do some snorkeling.





Sea urchins, eels, and numerous multi-colored fish were seen up close and personal. It was very, very nice.




Up the shore, about another mile, is a section of a solid rock shoreline. On this rock, a thick algae grows.

The sea turtles come to the shore to eat the algae.



This is probably the most amazing encounter of our entire trip.

These gentle giants are wonderful to watch as they use the ocean waves to bring them in, and then take them back out again.

We saw dozens of these turtles *grazing* along the rocks as well as swimming close by the shoreline.



It was absolutely amazing!



Tomorrow evening we will be catching our flight back to the North American continent, and then on to Oklahoma.








We will be taking home with us many wonderful memories...





And we'll be saying a melancholy farewell to the beautiful islands of Hawai'i.

later...
