Sunrise on Maui

We're on the western side of the island, so I can't actually see the sunrise. I've been out on the lanai for a few minutes, though, looking at the lightening sky and listening to the birds. It's so refreshing to hear birds that sound like birds (and not car alarms). :)

I snorkelled for hours today, which was fabulous. Took lots of pictures of fish, hopefully, with waterproof disposable cameras -- we'll see when they're developed if they come out not-blurry and whether my bangs weren't in front of the lens for too many shots. Also, I managed to get sunburn on my back and the backs of my thighs, from snorkelling and then lying about. Well done, me.

My brother has been watching a lot of History Channel... I don't know about the History Channel. It's very... sensational, you know? Over-dramatic. And quite speculative, as well. Yesterday there was a thing about how some guy thinks he's located the Garden of Eden by way of satellite imaging and taking both Genesis and ancient Sumerian myth as fact. It was rather infuriating. And their "Sex and the Ancient World" series is utter sensationalism. History Channel, I am not impressed. Even if I am willing to watch your programmes about space.

Also! Apparently there is a Hurricane Felicia that might be on its way? The news says they don't know if it will hit Hawaii, or pass just south of the islands, but it has been very windy and slightly rainy, so there's that explained. If it does pass over the islands, it's expected on Saturday or Sunday... and we're supposed to fly out of Kahului Airport Sunday night. So, yeah. We'll be keeping an eye on the local news.
