our last full day in Hawaii. after worship and breakfast we split up for the activities. i went with a group that went to a different beach then i had been to. other groups had been there before. the girls wanted to sit in the sun so three other guys and myself went boogie boarding. the waves were different here. they came in smaller but more often. some times it was hard to get out to the bigger waves. there was a rip current it one spot and we found it the hard way:) thankfully it wasnt a problem to get out of it. after about an hour and church member showed up to meet up with the group to teach everyone how to surf! so i tried my hand and that for a bit. it was fun, but i didint find it to be all that i hear its cracked up to be. i told my teacher how hard i found it and he said it is one of the hardest things he had ever tired. you have to keep the tail up so the wave can push you but not so high the nose gets under the water. but it was fun to try. if i had more time i would work on it. the other kids really had a grand time having fun on the boards.
having the lessons on the surf boards made it easier to boogie board, so that was nice.
i stared getting tired so i got out and did some more reading. then a bunch of us played volley ball.
i tried to get some photos but my battery died before i could do much :(
i told one of the students that one thing i like better about the other beach was that we were able to see sea turtles. but just as we were leaving we saw three whales spouting off way out! that was really neat.
we had a wonderful last supper this evening. the cooks have been wonderful. that really helps to more for a good trip :)
my cabin packed and cleaned up everything tonight so that we would be free for tomorrow. we leave at 8:45 pm.
because of the bad connection here i am going to up laod the rest of the photos when i get back.
