Manoa Falls, Oahu Hawaii

On Saturday, March 1st my wife and I hiked the Manoa Falls trail back to the waterfall. It only cost $5 to park. It took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to walk there and back. It was raining so it was slippery and muddy. I heard President Obama walked back there when he was in Hawaii a couple months ago. My wife and I liked the hike. You see bamboo and it is like a rainforest. I would guess that the trail back is about 3/4 of a mile each way. There is a fence because of falling rocks however I did touch the water. If you love waterfalls you should definitely hike this trail. The picture does not do the hike to Manoa Falls justice. The beauty of Manoa Falls must be seen to really appreciate it. The hike and the falls were very beautiful. The vertical drop of Manoa Falls is about 130 feet. I would definitely hike Mania Falls trail again.

Hawaii is beautiful

My wife and I are in Hawaii this week. We arrived on Friday so have only been here 3 days. Went to Diamond Head. It is 1.5 miles round trip. It only takes about 1.5 hours to go to top and come down. Very neat history. Looking forward to Pearl Harbor in a couple days.

Israel

It seems with all the turmoil in the Middle East the USA needs to strengthen our bonds with Israel and not try to make her sell out to her enemies with the road map to peace. Now with the Palestinian government combing Fatah and Hamas(a terrorist organtion), Israel needs to stand up since Hamas wants to take over Israel. A good website to check out Israeli issues is christianactionforisrael.org. I learn a lot from that website. I need to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
