What the Devil!

Last 4 days were hectic. On Monday we hiked the 5 mile long Hawai'iloa trail. It took us approximately 4 hours roundtrip. There were so many beautiful vegetation along the trail. Most interesting was I spotted 2 orchids growing next to a rock. Since one of them looked like it was dehydrated and almost dying, I took it home and potted it. Since then I continued to flower beautifully :) I also took some strawberry guava cuttings with me but I think they all died. Oooops! Below are some pictures we took.

On Tuesday, we had to get ready for a retreat on the island of Molokai. We left in the late afternoon, took a 25 minute plane ride and arrived on the island around 4PM. The island was very peaceful and quiet. The sky was clear and stars were prominent. Ocean was sparkling blue and the air smelled fresh. Even though the island was larger than Lanai, it only took us 1.5 days to tour the entire island. It was fun spending a few days away from the busy streets of Oahu. Pictures below.

Coming back to Oahu was not as I expected. It was very windy and even rainy. Then the dental appointment did not go very smoothly. I have 2 frakin' bilateral cavities, grrrr! They are not the kiddie ones either - hole on the top of the tooth. The stupid germs chewed up the front side of my two upper back teeth. I feel so depressed now. I thought eating less candies as an adult would protect me from the devils. My cavities are from floride in Hawaii waters, halo halo desserts, and little flossing. Crap, now I am going to pay for it. No pictures here.
