Okay well last time on ROAD TRIP, we just visited McDonalds. I went on quite the rant about how McDonalds breakfast is good but will make you have big love handles.
Yeah, after McDonalds and buying ice and water to drink we headed out to pick up our only female companion on the trip. This female friend of ours is very funny and decided that we needed to bring her along for our amazing adventure. Okay but yeah on our way down to her house, my friend and I who were sitting in the truck bed found out a literally 'not so hot' truth. Well, see when we woke up the sky was pretty overcast. When we started driving, it started to rain. Yes, cold+rain equals not much fun. It was pretty interesting how we developed different methods of staying dry and out of the wind. As unpleasant the experience was, it was amusing to see what kind of things we came up with to stay somewhat comfortable.
SO after picking up our friend, we started to head out to Waimea bay, the first stop on the agenda. The sky was overcast the whole way there and we weren't gettin much more cover there in the truck bed. The wind cut pretty deep and basically chilled right down to the bone. I couldn't belive it got that cold in Hawaii. By the way, that ride from Ala Moana to Waimea is about an hour, so just imagine... the cold... brrr...
Well we eventually did arrive with all limbs still fuctional. The clouds still hadn't really cleared yet though. We grabbed our boards in anticipation of the waves to come. The surf report gave us a nice estimated 2-3 feet on the west/north facing shores so we seemed to be in for a treat! I must say, I am not the greatest of bodyboarders but I have my moments from time to time. I'm sometimes even scared to hit up the big waves. They look so intimidating like they are just going to drop you off the top and right into the sand. I dunno, I did okay out there that day though. KDENS

aaaayy! your road trip blogs are very interesting to read. you say it as it is which makes it very entertaining...i'm gonna guess that you're planning on writing more about that epic day (i hope you do). however i'm kind of sad that you didnt write more about the various ways to keep yourself warm in the back of the truck (ie towels, fetal positions, head in the cooler method) theres much to write about that...essay waiting to happen. ooh yea, remeber that paper we used to document the day, it would be pretty interesting if you iincorporated that. just an idea. shootz
