The Bog at the Molokai Forest Preserve
This time we made it through the Molokai Forest Preserve without getting stuck.
The boardwalk at the entrance into the bog.
The heart of the bog.
A fiddlehead fern ready to unfold.
It was a mile and a half hike through the dense bog to get to the top but it was worth it!
We all had trouble staying on the incredibly narrow, rickety boardwalk--it was like trying to walk on a balance beam covered with mud. We were filthy and full of joy. A great time was had by all!!!

We were invited to our first Hawaiian wedding. One of the groomsmen was full of advice for the groom which he shouted out in the middle of the ceremony--"Don't do it, Joe...there's still time!" A good laugh was had by all.
Joe and Joy
It was indeed a joyous day and a wonderful celebration.

Molokai Forest Reserve
Molokai Forest Reserve
We spent the day with Molokai friend and fellow photographer, Rikki Cooke, in the Molokai Forest Reserve. Molokai had been described as an island with a "split personality"--one is arid and the other is verdant. Today we were in the interior and we experienced a little bit of everything--sun, mist, pelting rain, howling gales, rainbows, lush green forests and a breath-taking view from Kamakou Overlook.
The dirt road was challenging. We didn't get stuck but we came real close!!! I think the Roamer could have made it to the overlook.

What do you do with this???
A trip to the market, a sunset walk on a lovely plantation-style golf course...the pace and simplicity of life on Molokai is sublime.

Fine dining on Molokai
The pune'e on the lanai.
Today was a rainy, blustery day (50 mph winds). It was so nice to have a day to catch up on sleep, paperwork and phone calls and to take a lovely, leisurely walk in the drizzle.
Our good friends Dewitt Jones and Lynette Sheppard have generously given us the run of their guest house while we're here. We feel right at home!

Honolulu, Hawaii--Los Angeles on an island
Hotel room with a "partial ocean view." If you hang way over the balcony and squint, you might be able to make out the water.
Honolulu, Hawaii
Arrived in Honolulu too late to catch the last flight to Molokai so we had to spend the night. Flew to Molokai this afternoon...about a 10 minute flight. Molokai is the antithesis of Oahu--no buildings taller than a coconut tree, no traffic, therefore no traffic lights, no malls, minimal tourism...it's like stepping back in time. It's wonderful.
