I'm going to write about our beaching experiences in separate posts.
We were really lucky to make it out to this beach. We were taken by these people who we met at a party the night before...
Albert, a Hawaiian guy who we work with, had a party the night before to celebrate the lighting of the imu. It was a really interesting process: a fire was going in a pit in the ground all day in order to heat up the lava rocks. Then the fire was put out and ti leaves laid over the rocks. Turkeys in tin foil and a wild boar wrapped in taro leaves and chicken wire. Soaked coffee bags were put on top of everything and then the pit was covered with sand and dirt. The food cooked like this all night.
Anyway, we met this young couple who were shocked that we hadn't seen a white sand beach yet. So the next day they took us 45 minutes away to Kua Bay. It was so beautiful. This was Hawaii! Johnny taught Pramod and I how to body surf. The waves were much smaller than at the black sand beach, but my new wave fears came back to me. However, Johnny's body surfing tips have helped me get over that somewhat. Now, I seem to enjoy the waves more each time that I go to the beach.
We were lucky to get to this beach since it is far from us here on the farm. Thanks for the kindness of others, once again!
