The past couple of days have been such great days! From laughs, rain, hiking, to mud and jamming music. It all came together, giving us the chance to camp up at Peacock Flats and to even go all the way to Mt. Ka'ala. Which by far was the best place we got to work at yet. (Even it being the first site we worked at) I never knew about that many native plants before, none the less knowing the names for them all. It was such a wonderful experience to be all the way in Pahole and up on Kaala, getting to see the views. Beside the just, getting the chance to take care of the native things up there. Such as, taking the the loads and loads of strawberry guava. Which I honestly can say, I didnt know it was an actually fruit. How silly of me right? Well, also strengthening the boardwalk in the bog to a strike on me. Only because it was so beautiful, felt like I was walking in a giant's garden fixing its path way so he can create new life and beauty. Im not too sure if that made sense, but in my head it did. So , I just loved the entire experience this week. Everything! The time we spent together with our team and site managers, and not to forget the beauty of our lovely island Oahu. There just wasn't enough time to sit back relax and take in what we were doing for our island or that we were in such pretty places in such little time. Though we made do, with our walk through the entire bog, or walks back down the trail at pahole. Or it might even be the times we were at work but stared out into the distance. I especially loved when we got to the end of the bog, and could see down towards the westside of Oahu. As I told my team member Shyla, that we were so so lucky to be down here because people down there would be bickering, stuck inside playing video games, corrupted by drugs and violence. When they don't really know, or think what is really out there for them to reach and touch. That is why I thank the HYCC program for accepting me and giving me that opportunity and more to come. But its getting a bit to late for me to get enough rest for our last day with our site manager Mandy, so I will call it a night. LOVE YOU ALL OAHU TEAM D! GETR DONE AH!
