March 29, 2015 Besides the day when we sailed on the Hokule’a, today was probably the most fun day of the trip. It feels like we did so much in just one day its crazy. First we took a train out of the city and into the mountains. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL OUT THERE. We went to a forest observatory place and the view was absolutely incredible. There is something about being in a place so high up that I just find amazing. I could have stayed there looking out at the trees and hills and ocean and sky all day, but our day was only getting started. The next thing we did was going on a small nature walk in this forest trail, which was pretty cool. It reminded me a lot of Hawaii with all the greenery. The trees surrounding us were pretty amazing, but the highlight of that short walk was Kamalani saying “koru koru”. I know this word doesn’t look like much, but when spoken correctly, produces the most amazing sound ever known to mankind. After that we went to… PIHA BEACH! That was one of the best parts of this trip so far. It was so beautiful and the sand was so fine and the water was so clear and reflective it mirrored the sky. I climbed up a hill a little bit and just sat for a few minutes and just looked out at the beautiful landscape in front of me and all my friends running around taking pictures and all the people in the water, and it was just one of the most peaceful moments of my life. -Noeau Machado
