Slaughterhouse Beach

---

Lovely beach in spite of its unfortunate name. We went snorkeling today. After our five-minute snorkel meditation to gauge the scene, as recommended by Snorkel Bob, we set out, slowly figuring out this activity. Right away we saw quite a few different fish. As we swam out further, I noticed a sea turtle below us, which swam up for air right in front of us. It was close enough to touch but we resisted the urge. It stayed on the surface, just feet away, gulping air again and again until he dove down, down, down. We saw several more turtles, some resting on the sea floor. We were lucky enough to see one more close up. Such serene creatures.
Sunset wedding tonight on Ka’anapali Beach on the west coast.
