Gonna take a walk outside today...

I was reminded today about just how long it had been since I posted a new post. I decided I was going to remedy that.

Today has been a great day. I love days like this. I got to do some of my favorite things. Hiking, taking pictures and spending time with friends. Yea! Going to eat afterwards at a Japanese Buffet was good too but I digress. Earlier in the week I had talked with Keao Sunaoka and she mentioned that later in the week she was going hiking with a new friend from her mini church. She asked if I wanted to join them. But of course! It was nice too because they were going to Manoa Falls and I hadn't been there yet.

Keao came and picked me up around 9 this morning and we were off. The day was almost perfect. It could of been a little cooler on the trail, but who's complaining. It probably took us much longer then it would for anyone else because Keao is like me and likes to stop and take pictures. Sorry Abby! She will probably never go hiking with me again.

I can never understand those who just take a trail like a obstacle to conquer. For me the journey is just as important as the end result. It also helps that I get to take a break to take a breath. I used to go hiking all the time with no problem. Now it's a little bit different. Dratted asthma! It's gotten worse here especially as I'm bad about getting out there and exercising. Going uphill is the worse. It wouldn't be so bad but I'm kinda partial to breathing. So I'll use the excuse of taking pictures. I get some nice shots that way so it all works out.

On the way to the falls

Just one more Abby...honest

Smile Keao!

No this isn't the Falls but a little falls on the way

Poor Keao was so hungry. Good for her Abby was prepared

Not quite sure what's happening here. I think they're airing out
