While on vacation in Hawaii a couple weeks ago (more on this amazing trip later), Joe talked me to into doing a sunrise bike tour down the Haleakala Volcano. While I think biking's great and all, I was notably less than thrilled to be waking up at 2am to start on this van tour/bike ride down the big mountain that morning. The 29 switch backs up to the top didn't help either. To top it all off fog had rolled in right as the sun was about to rise. It was a little disappointing to not see the actual sun that morning, but instead we were given breathtaking views of light and color that more than anything, illustrated the hand of God giving us a new beginning each and everyday. 
5:17 So if any man is in Christ, he is in a new world: the old things have come to an end; they have truly become new. |

| Great Pics. |

| Yes, spectacular. Thanks for posting them CB. Must have been an incredible experience, well worth getting up at 2am for. Speaking of early risers, I see Rosie got up at 4am just to comment on your blog! lol ~mike |

| The pictures are awesome. You may have given me a vacation idea for next year! |

Super-awesome pictures! I bet if you all had made that ride every day beginning at 2 AM, each morning's pictures would have been different yet equally breathtaking. Couple that with a beautiful couple taking the same type of equally breathtaking pictures of the moon and other nighttime shots around the island all night long, that would be a PERFECT vacation. Just think, no sleep, non-stop, go-go-go, what's next, ahhhhhh...
Besides the early English spellers messed up on the spelling of vacation. It was supposed to be spelled:
V-A-A-C-T-I-O-N which is a pseudo-wordanym meaning Very Active ACTION!
Welcome back! Now you two can take a rest and get back to thinking about MyChurch.
I'd better shut up now. All of this uber-deep grammatical philosophical grey-matter thinking this early in the morning before I finish my second cup of coffee is gonna be cause for me to sleep the rest of the day. :eek:
Missed y'all!

| What islands did you go to, Carol? I used to live on Oahu back in the day; haven't been back since we moved away in '77, even though my brother still lives there. Cool pics! |
|
|
| We were on Maui, stayed at Wailea.. beautiful beaches. :) |

I love sunrises and sunsets and other natural wonders in the sky! Thanks for sharing. A friend shared a unique sunrise photo with me and I posted it here if anyone is interested. There's a nice surprise in the center! |

Some pics, Carebear! Haven't ridden down that "hill" in all my years, but had great experiences seeing the sunrise. Like the time I was 5 y.o., ate weird cookies at 4:30am, then puked it all in the observation house. The side benefit was my grandmother then fed me Popsicles for the rest of the trip! Did you dare to touch the brake pads at the bottom??? :) |

| P.S. Isn't it funny how those marvelous pics are somewhat reminiscent of San Francisco? |

Nice pix. I would love to try that ride, but doubt I'll be in Hawaii any time soon.
God does give us a fresh start and your photos of a new day dawning do remind us of that. Thanks for sharing them.
peace

Thank you all for the nice comments. What was a spectacular sunrise (or lack thereof), was followed by an even more spectacular ride down the volcanoe. Unfortunately those pictures didn't come out. But yes.. the bike ride was more about braking then peddling :). Thanks for pointing that one aj.. As promised.. I'll be posting about our vacation soon, as well as what I've been up to. Just taking a moment to catch my breath :) |
