On Saturday, Matt and I set out intending on going snorkeling. We first stopped at the Navy Exchange, which is the Navy's big mall. We bought snorkeling equipment and a boogie board. We headed to Kailua Beach, which is on the east side of the island. The east and west sides of the island are really two completely different things. The east side is much more tropical, and it rains far more over there. The reasoning behind this has something to do with trade winds.
We got to the beach, but the waves were a little too high for snorkeling. Luckily, we had bought the boogie board, but we quickly found out that the waves weren't quite big enough for that, either. It still made messing around in the ocean a little more fun. After a couple of hours of swimming, we found another local Mexican place and enjoyed a good dinner. I really liked the fried ice cream at the end of the meal.
On our way home, we drove through the mountains and were in awe of the waterfalls on both sides of us. It had just rained in that area, so we were really given a treat of the waterfalls and rainbows. It was just like what you might see on postcards!
Other than the fact that I got some water in my ear and I still can't hear out of it, it was a good day.
