Benj said the rainbow won't register in my camera. It did. It was lovely. And it made me giddy (obviously!). A rainbow later on appeared right across our little heaven of a house by the beach. This was the first time I saw the end of a rainbow and there was no pot of gold. Or maybe it was underwater. Or maybe, seeing the tip of the rainbow is already my pot of gold.
Our cute, little, orange weekend house (owensretreat.com) is right smack on Mokuleia beach and away from the hustle & bustle of tourist traps. It was, indeed, a retreat (but with mobile phone signal and wi-fi connection!). The waves pound on your doorstep and the wind whisper sweet nothings.
It's a kite surfer's haven this place and you can catch about ten of them in the afternooon worshipping wind and wave.
At night, it becomes a bit chilly and the moon casts lovely shadows on the shore. Our lively, little house becomes a warm, cozy retreat waiting to wake up to next day's sunshine.
Roam If You Want To....
Ahhhhhh. North Shore. So many things to do, so little time.... We took it easy.
The first thing we did after getting our rent-a-car is drive up to North Shore and hit a shrimp truck for lunch. OH.SO.YUMMY.GARLIC.SHRIMPS. Macky's was our first North Shore stop. And our last North Shore stop. First love never dies.
Had to try the famous Matsumoto's Shaved Ice. I had the classic one with ice cream. Heaven on ice! And psychedelic too.
We also hit Killer Tacos, a recommendation from a friend who missed their Longboard (that was yummy btw!). We really didn't go out for dinners. They were spent with skydiving friends. Although one time, we caught some knick knacks at Hollywood Joe's. It was alright. And we chanced upon this Margarita place and got ourselves a drink. They always card me here and my usual IDs won't cut it (ie Driver's License, SSS ID, etc). Passport is key.
