Today we went to
Kiholo Bay, a marine preserve protected and loved by the people of Hawaii and
their culture. The moment we arrived, there was a new energy in the air. We
could all feel it, and knew this was a special place. The trees, water, ground
and wildlife all felt connected.
My favorite part
of the day was after all of the day's events were over, we were able to swim in
the waters. My favorite animal is a turtle, which made this day especially
amazing. The shallow waters, at a depth of at most 4 feet, were filled with
turtles in all directions. Before today, I had never swam with turtles, and
that was one of my goals for the trip. The experience, for me, of being able to
swim with and sit next to turtles was my highlight of the whole trip.
This was the
last day of the trip and because of this, I have a lot of reflecting to do,
both on what I've learned and what I've seen. I have learned so much from this
trip, and changed so much as a person.
Thank you to Ed,
Susan, Don and Lauren for being here with us for every part of this amazing
journey.
