Day 11 - I like turtles

Today was a beach day. After 10 straight days of either traveling, camping, hiking, etc., we decided to relax a bit at our beachfront condo (the Kaleialoha). So, after some breakfast at The Gazebo, picking up groceries, and renting snorkel gear for the week; we hit the beach. Here's the view from our lanai (patio):

Just over that wall, there were Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles EVERWHERE! I mean dozens of them, ranging from 2-6 feet long, feeding on the reefs 10 feet from shore. We grabbed our snorkel gear and went in for a closer look. You aren't supposed to get too close or touch them, but there were so many swimming around, that we couldn't help it. Several even came up right behind us and I don't know how we avoided them. I can't wait to share our videos of us swimming with them or the shots from underwater, but here's what we have now:


We stayed in for dinner and grilled steaks from Maui ranch with potatoes and green beans. There is actually a high quality grass fed cattle industry in Maui so we had to try it out. The only things better than the steaks were another beautiful sunset over the Pacific and my beautiful dinner date.
