Me Jane, You Tarzan
This weekend I've spent an unusual amount of time in trees. Yesterday my friend amy shen and I went hiking, and she was leading the way to one of her newfound favorite spots. This favorite spot proved to be somewhat elusive and although we didn't use the word "lost", it did involve a 2 hour detour and climbing several huge banyan trees roots and limbs and all up and down the side of a steep hill of scree. I don't know much about rock climbing (except that lava rock isn't ideal), but I do like tree and root climbing. Think Swiss Family Robinson without all the disneyness, glamour and dangerous animals.
Today I went hiking with Danielle (ie. Mountaineering Joan of Arc) and the girls on the Maunawilli trail. At the end of the trail is a rewarding swim in a tiered waterfall with great rocks to jump off into a deep lagoon. On the trail we all took turns swinging on a real vine from the trees. AND I caught a fish with my bare hands!!! (note "fish"= small minnow) Needless to say I got to enjoy a beautiful slice of Hawaii, even with the mosquito bites and scrapes as souvenirs.

ho, you stay one wild woman, i tell you. Wish I went hiking with ya. To Maunawili, that is, not the one you did with Amy. Yeah, I said I wish'd I went hiking, I know you're all confused. I love waterfalls, :) but I dont like the long walks. If there is clean water to swim in I'm good.
Just pray God bless leptospirosis germs and your all good.
Oooh--you're like Tom Hanks in Castaway! Remember how he learned to stand on a rock and throw a spear to skewer a fish?
You can catch my next meal for me--but watch out...tofu runs fast :)
