Today I swam with sea turtles at Kahalu'u beach park. Kahalu'u is just down Alli Drive in Kona from where the tsunami hit the hardest. Apparently the fish and turtles didn't mind the tsunami a bit. Incredibly large fish...and the sea turtles were amazing...as soon as we arrived and were in the water gearing up, one literally ran into my leg...later, as I was swimming off (probably somewhere I shouldn't have been) by myself, a turtle joined me and we swam together...probably among the five neatest things that I have ever done...completely therapeutic. Words can't describe the peace that I felt with this absolutely majestic animal swimming alongside me...he was the coolest turtle ever, for sure.
We also visited the Kona Farmer's Market, where I added to my collection of pictures of "dirty souvenirs"...there will be pictures to follow at a later date, after we warn all of our friends not to let their children view this blog ;) The "dirty pig" must be popular in every tropical destination though, that's all I've gotta say.
Ended the evening with some sixes and a sunset from the hot tub (which wasn't to heat yet, was a bit chilly)...tomorrow--Marlin fishing!
PS..you can view the video of the turtle swimming on my FB page, otherwise pictures will have to suffice because I am clearly not technologically gifted enough to download it to Blogger...please forgive me!!
