I did a few work related things in the morning and then drove to Lihue for saimin at Hamura Saimin. We’d eaten there on our last trip. It’s mostly a local spot, but there’s always a slow but steady trickle of tourists finding their way in.
After that we swung by Safeway. I wanted to grab some poke for the room, and honestly, I just like seeing what is available locally. I am always amazed at how expensive food is in Hawaii.
Once we got back to the hotel, I headed straight to the beach and rented a cabana. I’ll never get over how you can pay a resort fee and still have to pay extra just to sit on the beach at a beachfront resort. It’s ridiculous, but here we are.
The weather was partly cloudy — warm, tropical, and comfortable without being unbearably hot. I enjoy listening to the ocean while watching people frolic in the sand. Every once in a while, I dipped into the ocean or pool.
Late in the afternoon we went back to the room, changed, and walked down to Turtle Beach to watch the sea turtles come in for the night. On our way we spotted a Monk Seal lying on the beach. When we left, exactly 20 turtles were on the shore.
