Holy Cwap! Today was amazing...
Today was definatly really really cool... So we went to Waipio Valley. This place is freakin' gorgeous...
> the reason this is just a scenary shot is beacause we had to walk down from the height that we are at on this photo to sea level. And then on the way back we had to walk up--it was the hardest walk I've ever walked in my entire life.
So we walked for 2 1/2 hours into the valley, with the hopes of getting to a waterfall. Little did we know that it was a trek that was going to be very difficiult. We had to wade in water up to our necks, with out backpacks above our heads, we had to deal with misquitoes, we had to walk in water as well as trek over slippery rocks. We covered quite a distance and we saw many beautiful things. Chris and I learned how to pick good Guava plants to cut open and eat, and we also found coffee beans as they grow on trees. It was really cool eating things right off the vine ... persay. Check out these pictures real fast before I describe anymore...
> ninja wait for no man...
> thugs for life
> see ninja wait for no man...
> quick rebound... haha estie is amazing
> oh no andrew is falling!!!
> there he is...
Oh we had a model shoot as well... here as some of the top poses...
> angry
> seductive
> scared
So we walked all day. And even in the water... that we waded through all day with sneakers on (the squish squish sound was definatly made a lot...) ... it was amazing. I loved every second of it... you'd think that I'd hate to be wet and stuff but... i loved being wet and cold and hiking through this valley. OH we even met up with a very important Mongoose Hunter [or was it the crocodile hunter...]...
We also found vines... oh ... we definatly found vines...
So after walking for a freakin' long time we finally go to the waterfall. And it was beautiful. ... dont' just take my word for it... look...
> we're checkign it out... it's amazing
> i'm hardcore
> so is chris...
Look how freakin' big it is...
> freakin' big!
We swam at the base of the waterfall, we didn't get too close because I was afraid that if we got under the falls that it might push us down and we would die. And we can't be having that... so we swam close to it... and it was so amazing. This HUGE thing of water and ... wow. It was unbelievable.
After we were done swimming we walked back. When we walked back we went a different way and we stumbled across a Hawaiian Grave
> very interesting...
So yeah... today.. ROCKED. I'm going to go shower now and sleep... cause I'm am REALLY tired. Love ya'll...
