Then yesterday (Nov 1st) we went on another hike. It was also about one year ago that we started hiking and our 12th hike. It started in St Louis Heights which is in the mountains above honolulu (this is a common theme). Honolulu is in a valley and there are all these ridges above the city. Many of the official trails started off as access trails to water reseviours or power lines. This one was delightful. It was shady! It started in an official park, so there was parking, a bathroom, and picnic tables. Then the trail followed along a ridge, but it was not narrow so it wasn't so scary. The trail had roots and rocks to sort of climb around. We did have one exciting part where we came across a bee hive right on the trail in a tree. We ran past it the first time and on the way back we put on our jackets and ran past again. We had heard about a fellow hiker on the islands who fell after being attacked by bees. He was okay, but now we are more aware of bees. The hike was supposedly 3 miles, and elevation gain of 1000 ft, but I think it was more. It took us 2 1/2 hours. We were tired at the end! On the way home, we stopped at Kampai (sports bar) and had their special fried rice and fried ahi belly (tuna belly fried in soy sauce and garlic). Then home for nap time.
