My Hawaiian Field Studies Experience: July 2013

#HFS2018

I started this Blog when I first started working with the North Lake College Summer Hawaiian Field Studies course. I knew that in 2 weeks, I would learn so much and I needed a place to document it. I was right. I went back through my pictures when I got home and thought, "Did we stop here? I don't remember this!". So I went back to my Blog and was reminded of that moment. So many great moments, so many great stories...here is where I document them. Please read, enjoy, send me questions, comments, etc.

I will be streaming live using Periscope on my Twitter Page. Follow me @Laronna_D on Twitter and @ldoggett on Instagram

Day 14 - Surfing and East Oahu Tour

Today is my last day in Hawaii. I can't wait to get home and see my Hubby and my fluffy babies!!!

I started my morning with Surf Lessons. I did not do as well as last year. I kelp going in at an angel and hitting the wave at a strange angel. My instructor looked like a young, Hawaiian Christian Slater. This picture does not show it well.

Next on the list was a tour of the East side of Oahu. We visited some of the places the Hawaiian Fields Studies class did, but it was still a nice tour.

The Hawaiian Monk Seal that we saw when we were near Hanauma Bay was there again. I guess he really likes it there.

Here is another picture of the Bay.

We stopped briefly at a blow hole. I'm not sure why I'm not smiling more. Could be exhaustion!

After the tour, I headed back to the Hotel and then to dinner. I went back to the Round Table Pizza for dinner. I headed to the airport about 7:45 PM and then waited to head back home.

The trip was great and I cannot wait to go back next year (fingers crossed!)
