The Aloha Spirit

I had a fantastic time in Hawai'i (O'ahu and Maui) catching up with old friends, swimming in the ocean, hiking in the mountains, eating pancakes with macadamia nut syrup, learning about Hawaiian history and culture, visiting the 'Iolani palace, wading the tidepools, shopping Waikiki, and reveling in general debauchery. I took this picture of a sea turtle we saw, which was absolutely amazing. Mahalo to my friends who went out of their way to make this trip particularly memorable.
