Hawaii part 2

Despite an overcast sky and drizzle throughout much of our first few days, we have been making the most of our vacation. On Friday we traveled to the North Shore and checked out some surfing. The waves were only around six to seven feet, but that's pretty much still awesome. We pulle off at one point near Waimea Bay and were excited to find a giant sea turtle grazing off red and green algae growing on the rocks. Shortly after witnessing what we assumed would be the turtle highlight, we almost stepped on Missy - a protected giant sea turtle basking in the . . . well, gloom. It's amazing to see such a large creature in person . . . especially something that truly appears to be a bridge to prehistoric times.
