I picked Mary Alice up from the airport last night! She is here visiting for 9 days (yay)!! We headed straight for salsa dancing with some friends, but found that they had changed the night. Sad. So, we all had pupus (appetizers) and drinks at Indigo instead. Afterwards the gang was headed out to find another club, but MA and I were tired, so we retired for the night.
This morning Mary Alice woke me up at 7:24am (yes, that is 724 for all of you USS Louisville readers) after sleeping as late as she could. We lazed around for about 2 hours and headed out to see Oahu! We drove over to the south east side of the island to see the blow hole and enjoy Sandy Beach. While on the beach Zac called!! He has been at sea for a while now, so it was sooo uplifting to hear his voice. He is doing fine and working hard. After a short hour and a half or so, it started sprinkling on us. Boooo. We headed back towards town and hit the Goodwill in Kaimuki for some old Hawaiian men's shirts, and to Kaimuki Dry Goods for some fabric. Mary Alice will be moving in to her new casa in Austin when she returns to the mainland, and wanted more pillows for her bed. So, we found some blue fabric to make shams. By this point we were starving, so we went to one of the places Zac and I eat a LOT, Wahoo's. And then....we drove to the NEX and base to see the naval station. We then drove up scenic H3 to the windward side of the island (weather conditions: still overcast and sprinkling). Since the weather was still not totally cooperating, we stopped by the National Cemetery of the Pacific in Punchbowl. When we came home we started working on Mary Alice's shams...and here is one of them!
We just finished watching Slumdog Millionaire (great!) and I have sent the sleepy sister to bed.
Tomorrow we will be back out sightseeing - so until that post,
Me ke aloha,
RAWE
