scenic stuff

Today was my first official day of "freedom," (i.e., laid off due to downsizing being masked as vacation as I wait to start my new job in a few weeks).

Not knowing what to do with myself since I'm so used to working all day long during the week, a friend, who's a freelance writer, and I went to Kailua for lunch. We took the long way there via Waimanalo side.

Looking over at the beach, I made a split second decision to pull over and snap some photos, you know, as we had no agenda and it's fun to do something impulsive. And it doesn't fail, there is the local beverage box discarded on the side of the road...haha!

The day was super clear, sunny and mild.

When we got to Kaiula we ended up at a nice Mexican restaurant. I even contemplated ordering a margarita, but opted for the diet coke (I used up my impulsive card by pulling over to take pictures of the beach).

Had a burrito, and then for desert we had fried bananas ... YUM!!! It even came with a mini Mexican flag toothpick! So cute!
