The Mahalo Party

Tonight was the Iron Man Mahalo party where all the volunteers who work this event are honored. The fed us, threw stuff at us, and then we went to the Ironman store looking for discounts on their products. not bad, but we were hoping for more. Oh, well, we just spent anything that we earned on this trip. Hell, its only money.

Tomorrow we plan to go and swim with the Dolphins at Kealakekua Bay. Then we're getting Thai Massages in the afternoon. So looking forward to that.

I was lucky today cause Greg did some Shiatsu on me today at the beach, it was wonderful!

A day at the beach

We have our daily routine here, still keeping me moving. We usually get up, have a small breakfast, usually fruit, with some cereal, yogurt and or smoothy. Then we hit the hike for a couple of hours about 7 miles every morning up and down the mountains of Kona. Is quite a trek. I've come to love it, and Greg is amazing, he says he's an old man, but he's in pretty good shape!

Today, we went to the beach, Kua Bay, it was amazing. Wow, its been so long since I've seen water that clear. We could even see the Honu swimming under water. Incredible. We got to check out Paul, the newly visiting Adonis in his man thong...well ladies, he's on the prowl! We're selling him into Highest bidder!

The market is back up and Greg is doing a lot better today.

Iron Man Competition

It was a great experience, and it really gave you some respect for the participants and what they sacrifice to make and complete the race. All I can say is that they are incredible. I like when they first go out for their swim. Talk about the sea of humanity. Wow, what an incredible sight, all of them swimming out together. I hope to post some pictures when I return.
