And A Very Merry Unvalentine's To You

Today, on this most fantastic of days, I went hiking (with my boyfriend (ooooh that was the first time I've written that and it was kind of exciting just now)). I know. It's crazy. But then we went to the beach which was lovely and, well, lovely. We walked up this really beautiful rocky slope called Mariner's Ridge and than sat at the top and looked down into the valley. The crazy thing about Hawai‘i is that everything is so extreme. The mountains are tiny, but really pointy, and they come steeply down into these deep valleys. It's cool because you can see everything from everywhere and you're constantly aware that you're in this small space. In Vermont, you know you're in a bowl, but you have to look a lot further to see the sides. Here are some pictures from the top.
