some pics

don't really want to write much- pretty tired from the hike today- yesterday i went to the beach to watch some windsurfers- there were some other good sites @ the beach too- everyone- more the people that moved here are very chill and just kinda cruise through life- the bikinis are small and the women are "every type of guys women"- today kassi and i went on a hike to the 7 sacred pools and waimoku falls- rained till we got above the clouds- kinda slippery- the falls were amazing- waimoku is about 400 feet and was flowing pretty good b/c of the rain- the walk in the bamboo forest was pretty nice too- i was waiting for the black cloud from lost to pop out- the hana highway trumps highway 1 in a few spots- the views of the valleys are amazing- we got harassed by some locals on the way home- i don't understand it- yes i can see that they have had "their" island invaded but if not for that they would be stuck in 1920- they slapped the mirror of the car when we drove by- there were a few abandon cars along the ride- stripped then burned- i would say overall this place has a very weird vibe- they are either nice or cocks- not the americans but the hawaiians - so close minded and feel they have the right to be asses- also saw some rainbow eucalyptus. the bark of the tree is about 5-6 colors- pretty cool i must say- i dunno if it is b/c of the tree or the soil or something-
