                               This was taken in Aruba . It was a hike or near a fort.. we had rented a car for the day.. this is back in 2011. D's first beach vacation. This particular set of stacked rocks caught my eye because it looked like the bust of a man, bent over, a little hunched I thought.. weight on his shoulders.  Tote Bag Spiral Notebook Canvas Print Wall Hanging Jigsaw Puzzle Framed Print Throw Pillow                                    Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Redbubble             Zazzle

My last book post was in mid March.. so the following are two months worth of reading.   Vengeful by V.E Schwab Synopsis  - Magneto and Professor X. Superman and Lex Luthor. Victor Vale and Eli Ever. Sydney and Serena Clarke. Great partnerships, now soured on the vine. But Marcella Riggins needs no one. Flush from her brush with death, she’s finally gained the control she’s always sought and will use her new-found power to bring the city of Merit to its knees. She’ll do whatever it takes, collecting her own sidekicks, and leveraging the two most infamous EOs, Victor Vale and Eli Ever, against each other. With Marcella's rise, new enmities create opportunity--and the stage of Merit City will once again be set for a final, terrible reckoning. Thoughts - This is the second book in the series. I had read the first earlier in the year and felt it was good but lacked something. The first book had felt a bit robotic in its delivery. This one I liked...

Maui, Hawaii part 3

Image
Happy to see you are all enjoying our trip to Hawaii so much. It was such a magical place.. we had so many incredible experiences but now we come to an end. DAY 9 We had another relaxed morning. We spent some time on the beach and then walked over to Black Rock. It was a large rock jutting out that people climbed and jumped off of. It was located at the end of our beach just a couple of minutes away. What we didn't know was that it was a sea turtle hotspot!  They were not shy at all and just kept swimming up to us. Around 1:30pm we headed out to explore Maui's upcountry. Upcountry Maui is located on the slopes of Haleakalā and offers a cooler weather and a more rustic, paniolo (cowboy) vibe. He headed straight for Makawao. It was a cute area lined with galleries, shops and restaurants. It felt like we weren't on a tropical island anymore.  We ate at Freshie's. Nice and simple food. Very tasty and generous portions.  There are two famous bakeries in Makawao, Komoda Store...
