Day two and we’re all packed up and ready for our next beach adventure. This next beach offered lots of beautiful yellow sand and the shade of gorgeous trees that looked like large driftwood with the leaves still intact. The lovely trees curled and cracked and weaved from the sand shore to the aggressive black rock that formed the crescent shaped alcove. I couldn’t help but wish I could come back when the branches weren’t decorated with drying towels and the sands weren’t littered with fellow sunbathers. Oh what a photo I have already etched in my mind.

From the beach we still had roughly two and a half hours of steep mountain terrain to cross in order to reach the other side of the island. Before we would begin the journey though, we stopped for the obligatory “Shave Ice”. I would related shave ice to a large sno cone, but that would never give this concoction justice. They take a bowl and fill it halfway with the tastiest, fluffiest snow you can imagine. Then they bury a scoop a vanilla ice cream under the other half of ice and then add a rainbow of flavors. The resulting delightful treat is something better than a sno cone, tastier than a creamsicle, and the best thing the kids have seen since we’d arrived.
