Aloha! Happy Easter! Happy Spring!
Okay, any of you who know just how important ducks are to my boy, and who have undoubtedly met Bill, should appreciate this. For Easter, my mom sent Kevin a duck. In Kevin's hands, this is no ordinary stuffed bird. He quacks and his name is Chuck.
Chuck Duck went with us yesterday hiking up on Makapu'u Head. There is a set of trails, one paved that winds up to the top above the lighthouse, and offers beautiful vistas along the way and several vantage points at the top from which the Windward coast sweeps majestically below. The other trail is unpaved and meanders below out to the beach and a rock formation called the Queen's Chair.
From the lighthouse trail above, there are also magnificent views of Manana and Kaohikaipu islands. The larger island Manana is also known as Rabbit Island because it looks for all the world like a bunny swimming through the water with its ears back. These are the islands in the little photo posted with the About Me section, which I took the first time I found this spot. It's also a whale watching venue with stops all along where Humpback whales swim by in amazing numbers. Makapu'u has become one of our favorite spots on the island.
Okay, here's another photo of Kevin with Chuck at Makapu'u. Kevin wants to be a pediatrician now. Go figure... :)
