Day 2 in Hawaii

After the pancake breakfast with bacon, eggs, sausage, pastries, and guava juice it was onto the Go Games. We were broken up into about 18 teams, we were on Team Z (we called it Team Zed). It was really warm, but still a lot of fun. We didn't finish last, which really is all I was aiming for. I think we were about 7th or 8th. That afternoon we hung out on the beach, did some snorkelling in the lagoon and did it all without the camera. That night was the tie-dye beach party on A-bay. More mai tais and good food. We just missed capturing the sunset. The sun was above the horizon when we were on the bus for the 4 minute drive. When we got to the beach, off the bus, and walked a few hundred feet the sun was already under the sea. That didn't stop us from getting a few good shots anyway. The last two pictures were taken by the company photographers. We didn't find the pictures on the board until two days later, as we didn't recognize ourselves in the tie-dye shirts and regalia. We looked for those photos atleast 3 times and we didn't find them until there were only like 15 total pictures left from the party. LOL.
