this side of paradise.

i want to go back. the weather was warm and sunny and windy. the ocean was blue and 75 degrees. the mountains were majestic and the vegetation was lush. the sand was white or black or red depending on the beach. the whales were everywhere, breaching and flipping their tails and making themselves known. and there were dolphins and my new favorite food, ahi poke. oh, and did i mention the waterfalls and the amazing house we stayed in that had an outdoor shower and an outdoor kitchen? and the view. the view from the back of the house was picture-perfect. the ocean, the mountains and the sunset. all there for our viewing pleasure every night. and in the morning, the sun glistened off the water and if you used the binoculars, you could see the whales dancing.
