Whenever we can, we drive over to Hale'iwa to Laniakea Beach to see the turtles. It has become one of Lauri and my favorite places on the island. This time, there were several turtle hauled out on the sand basking in the sun.
These guys were sleeping away, even though they were surrounded by noisy tourists that had to be a distraction.
Usually, we don't plan well and come without swimming suits and snorkel gear, but today we planned ahead and I got to swim with some of them. It is fun to watch them gliding underneath you eating as they go.
Once in a while one will surface for a quick breath of air, and. . .
then it is back down to the bottom to continue feeding.
Anytime but winter this really is a great place to come spend a few minutes snorkeling and watching the turtles. they just pretty much ignore people here and don't seem the least bit afraid. Not the case with the fish here, however. People spear-fish here and the fish are very skittish.
When we were done we drove through Hale'iwa to see if they had a rotisserie chickens for sale. Much to our surprise, Rosies was still open so we had to have dinner there one last time.
I had the Chili Verde - very good! I wish I had their recipe.
Lauri went with the Tamales.
Unfortunately, that is the last time. They got a temporary reprieve, but are definitely closing so one of our old stand-bys is now gone!
