Today we drove up to the North Shore of Oahu - a more heavenly shoreline and ocean view does not exist I am quite certain. We began by stopping for awhile at Ka'ena State Park Reserve, a more rocky beach along the northern tip of the island. Then we drove along over to Haleiwa where we stopped for a genuine Matsumoto Grocery Store shave ice. I had a combination cherry and pineapple, Steve had a banana shave ice. DE-Licious!! We headed on along to our favorite North Shore beach site - Uhukai, where there was being held the Pipeline Bodysurfing Classic. We settled in to watch that competition along with the regular surfers and before we knew it, several hours had passed by. I took lots of great photos and some movie clips which we will look at over and over again. I have to pinch myself to believe that I have really seen surfing along the Banzai Pipeline in Hawaii. We then headed back to Honolulu and got cleaned up in time to head up to the top floor of our hotel (26th) to Sarento's Restaurant. Hotel guests had been invited to a drinks and pu pu's reception from 5 till 6 pm. It was very nice! We stayed for dinner, and had a great Diamond Head view table. Both of us had the spaghetti with sirloin meatballs. Delicious as always!
Now we are back in our room and attending to the task at hand - uploading today's photos to Picasa!! We are having more fun than two people should be allowed to have!
