Day 77 – Tsunami Saturday

All right so I heard what I thought was a malfunctioning fire alarm. The fire station is up the road and all. It was a loud humming and then after about ten minutes its when down with a whooooo. Okay so that started at like 6am. Then Jeremiah gets a text from Lauren around 8:30 telling us what’s up. So yeah there was an 8.8 earthquake in Chile and a tsunami of impending doom could be headed for Hawaii. So we go up to the house and the news is on and we’re all exited and talking. Jeremiah and I had no idea what we were going to do on our day off and now we do, let’s go watch it! There was a nice German couple that had breakfast late with us and we told them we were going on this trail to check it out. They asked Jeremiah where it was and I said just come with us. So me and the girl (Sandra) and Jeremiah and the guy (frank) walked in pairs down the captain cook trail to a good viewpoint where you could see a lot of the coastline. They are a really fun awesome couple. They were friends for six years before they started dating. I don’t know, it was cool to just instantly click with people, even if they don’t speak good English. So we get to our look out spot and have 11am tsunami party beers, cheers! Oh we got banan pancakes this morning too, awesome! So we wait, and wait and wait. Nothing happens and we head back up. We are all a lot less chatty on the way up. It was nice to be miserable and out of shape with people in the same boat. The trail sucked but didn’t kick my butt as bad as it did the first time, yay! So we get home and are starving. We end up taking the bus to get some foodies. I had super nachos and Jeremiah had L&L which instantly made him feel sick, I had a major headache, we couldn’t wait to get home. Happily though the table we sat at to eat was next to a table of adorable Japanese tourist girls. We get home and see the little pig on the driveway again. Then we go home and hang out with Pignic for a while. She is so sweet. So yeah that was our exciting day, no big waves, nice fun new people though.
