Another bucket list happened today. We woke up at 2:30 AM and headed out the door at 3:00 to Haleakalā to view the sunrise. The drive is curvy, the air is thin, the views are beautiful. At 10000 feet it was a bit of a stretch to carry Elowyn up a short hike to the top of the viewing area, but I made it. I was surprised how dizzy I felt up there. I think I most enjoyed the view before the sun came up where the sky was glowing and the stars are out. It was such a perfect melding of night and day. I learned today, that I am more of a sea level girl. I much prefer my toes in an ocean where the air is thick with humidity to being up above the clouds at 10000 feet. I am glad I did it, but I won’t be back for awhile. Poor Elowyn got car sick going up and down. She got home and napped and is now right as rain.
It’s cold up here. Snuggle time
The stars and the sun
