Whale Watching, Temples and Dancing

Yesterday (Thursday, Feb 26) we were out bright and early to go whale watching on a 65 foot long catamaran with Ocean Sports. We did see whales, including two different mother-baby duos with escorts. Not that I could get a decent picture of anything as my camera was too slow. We were never really close but did get within 30-40 feet of the baby whales at a couple points. The flukes are prepatory to deep dives so were either the moms or the escorts.



On the way back down the coast we stopped at the temple built by Kamehameha I who united the Hawaiian islands in the late 18th and early 19th C -- Pu'ukohola



Last night we decided would also be our one night to eat dinner out as there was a free hula and fire dancing show at Mauna Lani.

Today I let the rest of the gang go off snorkeling at Honaunau and I lazed around, read, and got a pedicure.
