My first time ever driving a moped!

We have found the best way to get around Honolulu is a moped.Mopeds are treated the same as bicycles. When it comes to parking its better because you can park on sidewalks and not pay high cost parking fees.This is Brads moped,mine will be PINK!!

Brad I and Maggie took a walk tonight ( 11/12/09) and we saw so many beautiful flowers that blanket very large trees,some had fallen to the ground.The fragrance could be the most valued of perfumes.

Exploring Oahu

Today November 11th 09 Brad and i took a drive,not knowing where we were going or what we would see. Our eyes saw the most beautiful scenery that our world has to offer. I felt like i stepped back to the prehistoric times.We traveled steadily up a highway that lead us into the most beautiful view of mountains over looking a spectacular view of the ocean with its gigantic rolling waves. It was truly fabulous to behold. The highway took us to a lovely town called Kailua,which also took us right to the ocean…words can not describe the wonder and beauty of something so massive.Brad swam in the blue waters that surrounded him while i kept watch on 3 transparent like crabs shoveling sand from their burrows.The water was so incredible warm. As i watched brad swim my mind wondered to the ocean and all the incredible creatures that live within it…a whole different world so deep so large so mysterious. I am sure we will have more journeys such as this for our eyes to see and our hearts to embrace.
