My Day with Dani and Friends

Dani and six friends came up to Waimea for the day this past Saturday.  We began with a hike to the back of Waipio.  The morning was clear and beautiful.

We headed up the hill from home.

The stream and pond on top were nice.

The ladies and Waipio Valley.

I went down to the landing below, but only a couple of ladies dared follow me.

Here's the view back towards home.

After we returned home, we decided to show the ladies Waipio from the other end.  Here's the view from the top.

Finally, we ended the day with dinner at Cafe Pesto.  All in all, we had a great day -- even if I was a bit stiff Sunday morning.

Late this afternoon, the sky cleared and Mauna Kea was especially beautiful in the setting sun.
