After a rather mundane at work, I did a bot of shopping for supplies and headed back to the hotel. Here, at the Sheraton, they have Mai- Thai specials for a hour during happy hour. As I was enjoying my island concoction, I noticed a commotion on the beach. Apparently a Hawaiian Monk Seal had decided to come ashore for some sun. You'd a thought it was a body that washed up. The hotel staff responded quickly. They put upa temporary fence up to keep both seal and guests separated. The Hawaiian Monk Seal is a very rare, and thus endangered species. The Marine Mamal Protection Act, and a few other state and federal laws are quite harsh on people getting too close to these guys. Note to self. Always carry camera. Might need to ckeck out one of those new-fangled camera phones.
Aloha!
Aloha!
