To finish yesterday’s blog: we drove down to the beach and sat in the car to eat our lunch. The rain stopped after a bit and we watched several groups of people in the water. We were a little anxious as a couple with what looked to be a 4-year old were standing and watching their son jumping in the waves. Every once in a while, he would get knocked down. This beach is not a particularly safe beach for swimming (even though many people do) as there is a strong current not too far offshore. There was another family of native Hawaiians with teenage boys who were having a good time body surfing. We drove back to camp and relaxed for the rest of the afternoon until it was time for Dave to cook dinner. He also has to do the dishes (see photo - also note that he has his down vest on). I do put them away after they are dried.
Today when we woke up, we could tell it was cold (well, for here) outside. Dave started the car to check the temp and it was 48. We had breakfast and reported for work. Katie decided to put me on office detail so I wouldn’t put a lot of pressure on the stitches. I entered data in the computer for Mapuana and then did a couple of minor rewrites on grants for Katie. Dave, Eben and Mapu went back to the area that we had worked with the Cornell folks. They went armed for both guava and ginger, but found much more ginger than they expected. In fact, they ran out of herbicide and had to quit a bit earlier than usual. We both took showers and then had dinner. We cleaned up the kitchen and are just relaxing now. It is quite clear out so we will probably have another cold night.
