Today, Adam and I snorkled(is that a word?) in Hanauma Bay. Neither of us was graceful until we hit the water. Someone please tell me WHY IS HAWAII WATER COLD?! Argh, it took me a while to get all the way in the water(falling down with the flippers on helped), but after a few minutes, I was okay.

There was a lot of fish to be seen, and I can’t recall what their names were. I think one was a butterfly fish, one was some kind of pipe fish, one was something my folks would call striped bass, but you can’t it this one, a puffer fish, and a really cool black, white and orange fish, plus one I think is called a parrot fish. Oh, and I saw A SEA TURTLE! I honestly never thought I’d see one of these in my lifetime, so that was the highlight of the dive, er, snorkel.

Here is the bay, near the beach, where you can see peoples snorkling and sunbathing.

And here’s a shot aimed a bit offshore, where you can see the bay’s mouth out into the Pacific. Yeah, the Pacific, that’s where we be!
