Pet Sitting

So we've been pet sitting a fish for a family with three little girls.  They come home today.  Erica comes down this morning and the little fish is lying on the bottom of the bowl.  We went and bought a new little fish that matched as close as we could find.

Poor Bubble Guppy.

The girls never noticed their fish was different but the first thing the middle one said was, "I am so glad Bubble Guppy didn't die!"

Ka'ala #2 in the sun

Some workers were getting dropped off via helo, we'd hear them get picked up starting at 3:30.

 Coffee beans

 We made it!  Evan turned back at the fence.

 We can actually see up here this time so we walked around the tracking station

 Looking back over the top of the mountain we walked across.  We walked on the boardwalk through the rain forest. 

 One last pict at the station

 back on the boardwalk and through the rain forest-this time with no rain

looking down to our trail

done with the rope and mud sections

 just over the boulders and then through the forest

  looking back from whence we came 

 back to the fence where Evan turned around-hope he is okay

 now we are in the forest, I saw some really large pheasant looking birds and stopped to try and get pictures, I couldn't but on the other side we heard then saw a super large black boar, didn't get a picture of him either  Erica was smart, she picked up large rocks in case he charged us, She said to make noise but we whispered and slowly walked out

 We crossed the dry stream, made it to the picnic table and to the road, Evan left us a note to say he was heading down the hill

 clouds on the mt now

  It's a mile and a half down to the car on the road.  Evan has been waiting like 3 hours, poor guy.  He could have come to the top with us though.
