Tuesday was a pretty laid back day. I got up around 7:30 and got to have a bit of sun then the rest of the day was overcast with a little rain. It is weird to feel rain hitting you when it is 80 degrees and in your swimsuit. We pretty much hung out at our condo most of the day. We did take a trip to the mall which Jake explains in detail on his blog so I won't go into it.
Yesterday was still overcast but we didn't want to sit around again so we went to the beach anyway. We had heard about this one beach called Ka'anapali Beach which is suppose to be the number 1 beach on Maui so we headed in that direction. When we got there we realized that none of us had any cash to park in the close lot so we headed back down the street and saw a free lot so we drove in. Unfortunately there were only about 20 spaces in the lot and it was full so we continued again. We found another one but it was full also so we had pretty much resigned to the fact we were not going to go to that beach yesterday then Jake saw another beach and a little lot that had 1 space available so we took it and headed for the beach. It was probably about a half mile from the beach we had intended on going to but we figured it was probably the same so we stayed. The waves were pretty scary. Jake took the boogie board out while I stood on the beach barely in the water. When a wave hit I tried to run away from it since Jake was heading straight for me on the board but the undertow was so strong that I could barely run. The wave crashed down behind me and I tumbled over and I suddenly felt pain on my ankle. I thought the wave had hit me so hard that it left a big red spot but when I came out of the water Jake asked if I was ok and told me that he didn't mean to slam into me, he couldn't control the direction he went. I was surprised since I didn't know it was him that hit me. A little while later Jake and I decided to walk up to the good beach and it was amazing how much better the waves were. If you go past where the waves are breaking then you can just ride the wave in and then back out. It is much better then being pummeled by the crashing waves!! We decided after that experience that we wanted to stick with the beach that we originally have been going to.
I am so happy today. It is almost 8AM and it is blue skies with only a few clouds!!! I was afraid it was going to be cloudy and raining the whole time. It is nice to see the sun FINALLY!!
