I can't put into words how amazing this day was, but I'll try. Really, the pictures tell more of the story, but even then, so much of this beauty is missed if you didn't experience it.
We got up early to drive out past mile marker 25 and meet Walter. He was going to take us out on his fishing boat to see the cliffs of the north shore of Molokai, which are pretty much inaccessible from land.
The ride up the shore was fast paced and crazy. We leapt over waves as Jonathan and I clung to a cooler we were sitting on at the front of the boat. I was pretty sure Walter had it under control, but the times that he said "woah" got me a little worried.
After cruising the coast and seeing all the waterfalls from the shore, he stopped the boat and we all jumped in and swam to shore. We climbed smooth, slippery rocks to get to a freezing waterfall (that again, only Mike could stand for long) and played around shore for awhile. On the way back, we stopped at Turtle Rock for some amazing snorkeling.

Lunch & beers at a tiny little plate lunch place, and on our way to Halawa Valley, the furthest point you can drive to on the East Coast of Molokai.

You really just have to look at pictures to understand the beauty of this drive:
 |
| Nene crossing! |
 |
| Morgan is a Pringles duck... we were either bored or drunk! |
 |
Random Christmas tree decorated along the road!
(Yes, this is the same drive. Crazy change in scenery, right?) |
 |
| View of the last valley at the end of the road. Amazing! |
At the end of the road, we swam in brown water, which may be why we all feel sick a week later! Jonathan, the only one with any sense, slept through this little excursion.
I'll leave this day with a sunset from our lanai. Full disclosure: Josh snapped this picture. I tried, but none of mine turned out as well!
