Brian: Hawaii, Day 3

The days pass by, warm and sunshiny. The weather is so warm it literally lulls you to sleep. Every time we got in the car for more than a couple minutes, we'd nod off. Today we made a trip to Waimea Falls, a waterfall on the north shore of Oahu. It's located in a valley that is a nature preserve. I took a buttload of pictures there of varying quality - the scenery there was amazing, what varied was just my ability to capture it. The waterfall at the end was about 45 ft high and emptied into a pool 30 feet deep. Swimming around in the pool was kind of like in the movies where you see people relaxing in paradise. However, it was kind of scary when you swim over the drop off from the shallow area into water so deep you can't see the bottom. It also got really cold as you got closer to the waterfall. After Waimea Falls we went to Turtle Beach, the most famous golf course on Oahu. It costs $180 to play a round of golf, which is somewhat out of my budget. On the way back we stopped by a random beach on the North shore and watched the surfers riding waves. At night we went to the jacuzzi again. This time there was a singer performing covers with a guitar. The first song was James Blunt's "You're Beautiful", and the next song was Green Day's "Time of Your Life". I played those songs with Dan on guitar, so I was stayed for the whole performance. He wasn't spectacular on guitar, but his voice was pretty good.
