Hawaii Post #7: Wailua Falls

As seen from the air shot of our helicopter adventures, here is Wailua Falls from the ground. It really was beautiful, but the beauty was not enough adventure for my hubby, apparently. He saw a few people who had hiked out to the top of the falls, and really wanted to, as well. One of those guys that was weaving leaf baskets for tourists to buy (yes, we bought one, and later calculated that that guy must make about 30 thousand a year just from selling bowls and hats for 10 bucks a pop - crazy) offered to show another vacationer the path down there, so D and that guy hiked down (in flip flops, mind you) and took photos from the top. The whole time I was holding my breath, so nervous that he would slip and fall or something awful like that. From my point of view, he looked SO CLOSE to the edge! Like he could just slip right off. Lucky for him, I found out while he was climbing back up that someone had slipped off the edge and died there just 3 weeks earlier. Eek!! Anyways, enough of that, and now on to the photos!

I love this man's faces.
