No, friends, I did not meet my demise in the placid waters of Hawaii. I was having too much fun snorkeling and hiking to write. Plus, I took most pictures on my non-phone camera. We fly back to Minnesota tomorrow, and I'll try to resume blogging shortly. I have much more to share, both about Hawaii and our time in the Pacific Northwest.
For now, I'll leave you with pictures of the yummy chocolate I drank and ate with my dear friend Viola at the delicious Cacao in Portland. I think I'll need to run for a week to make up for all the eating I've done here.
