Each morning, we went snorkeling at a different beach. Our favorite was the area nicknamed Turtle Town at the southern end of the island. 

Today, we headed to the north end of the island. Honalua Bay is a marine preserve, but unfortunately it had rained the night before and the snorkeling was not as amazing as described in the reviews we had read. Still, we had a pretty good time.

The more memorable moments of the outing however were seeing Uncle Jimmy, the nearby landowner who guards the parking lot and depending on his mood that day, makes you feel welcome or makes you feel like the tacky tourist. He pretty much left us alone, so I guess we're someone in the middle of that range.

To get to the beach, you walk in through a huge grove of Banyan trees and it's and very picturesque! There are free roaming chickens too, several of which Katie befriended. The one bit of wildlife that was most unwelcome was the bee who gave Lisa her first (and hopefully) last bee sting. Ouch!
