Zach arrived yesterday! I hitch hiked the two miles to the airport to meet him there and, because things have been so tumultuous lately, I decided to rent a car with him to make life a little easier. We called in for a compact car and when Zach’s bike box was slightly too big they upgraded us to a van at the same price! We had a great dinner at Cafe Pesto last night and then drove an hour back to Pa’auilo to spend the night in my tent at John’s farm.
Today, we got up early and weeded for John for a couple hours. We headed over to the old farm to pick up the rest of my stuff (including my solar panel and battery). I felt stress just going back to that farm and was glad when we left. We stopped at Malama Market for lunch and by the time we got back to John’s I felt like I just needed to take a break from farming. Zach and I packed up the van and found a nice little campsite at Laupahoehoe Point Park to spend the rest of the day and tonight.
The picture is of Zach with our foraged coconuts, standing in our campsite with our rental car. Today is a overcast, windy day but we are fortunate that it hasn’t rained much at all. I’m feeling much better now that I’m camping. :)
