Drive Around

It was a rainy day; it is the rainy season.  We decided to drive around to get pineapple ice cream.The fan palms are so pretty.The sky would look like it was going to clear, but never really did.The pine trees of Oahu are very interesting.A covered bridge!We arrived at the Dole Plantation.After looking around a few minutes we ordered our pineapple ice creams and sat outside because it was much warmer than sitting inside with the air conditioning.We watched the train; there were not many people around since it was cold and rainy.We found another place next door that was closed.The Helemano Plantation.  We will have to stop next tripIt looked very inviting.Off we go again continuing around the island.There are mountains.There are fields and steep valleys.They are once again growing pineapples on the island.Thos pine trees  help break up the winds that come with the rainy weather.You can see down to the ocean.We continue our drive on route 83 around the island.This is north shore area and there are little shopping areas.This is where the surfers come to ride the waves.There are all kinds of vendors even in the rain.A modern church behind an old arch.We love the old bridges; this one was built in 1921.See the boarders out there in the lagoon.John John from HI is the world champ and he is from this area.The Vans World Cup of Surfing is going on this week. Will watched some of the live clips this morning.That is one old road machine! But it is still working and they are fixing the road; lots of potholes.The ocean….There is a wind farm on the island and signs that the people done't want more.The Polynesian Village didn't look too popular in the rain.We went up the Pali Highway and through the two tunnels.And back down the other side of the mountain to Honolulu and back to Justin's.
