North Shore
I paid a visit to my favorite place in the world, North Shore. From Mokuleia to Waialua to Haleiwa to Waimea. My greatest childhood memories are tied with the North Shore, to me the place is timeless. Sure a couple things changed, but the atmosphere all the same. In Mokuleia I remember camping with my aunties, uncles, and cousins the year my parents divorced. Staying up past 1am was a accomplishment. Snorkeling. Eating. Talking and Joking around with my older cousins. Then transferring to a beach house, throwing a huge party. Drinking fruit punch pretending it was wine. Seeing a Honu and playing Volleyball :D! In Waialua, I was still pretty young but I remember that sugar cane mill that was not too far from the gym, where my cousins and I would play basketball for PAL. Playing against some sexist boys, mad we were girls. Later on getting even and befriending them. Haleiwa to Waimea the beaches were my playground, didn't matter if the waves were two times bigger than me. Shark's Cove where I fell into the water, rocksand (roxanne), jumping off the rocks, getting tiny cuts all over my foot. Deathly afraid on sea urchins ( idk how to spell the other term for it). Watching the sunset, wishing the day never ended. I miss it, and I made it my mission to spend some part of my summer in the North Shore :)!
