​Oahu, Hawaii

Whether you’re enjoying a peaceful sunset or walking along by the beautiful lagoons, the Ko Olina Beach Park Walking Trail is a a perfect place for those who prefer easier hikes.  The entire trail is nearly three miles long.  It is located near Kapolei, Oahu and is easy to find.  A Hawiian blessing was placed near one of the lagoons on a bench.

Mākaha Beach has the best surfing on Oʻahu’s west coast and is one of the places where big wave surfing was pioneered.  When the ocean is calm, this is one of Oʻahu’s most popular dive sites.  There is no path, but a stroll along the beach provides beautiful views along with many sites along the way. A Hawiian blessing was left near the gate between the parking lot the the crosswalk to the beach.

Kaʻena or Kaena Point is the westernmost tip of the island of Oahu. The point is designated as a Natural Area Reserve.  The hike from North Shore is lengthy, approximately eight total miles long.  It takes an hour and a half to hike to the Natural Area Reserve where one can observe nesting Laysan albatrosses and wedge-tailed shearwaters, Hawaiian monk seals, and the native strand vegetation.  A fishhook vessel was left on a rock beside the trail head that explains the purpose of the reserve.

We spent the afternoon in White Rock enjoying the sunshine and the wonderful cuisine at Cilantro's.   As an early tribute to St. Patrick's Day we left an Irish blessing behind on a table facing the pier.   

The wooden vessel containing an Irish blessing in a bottle was placed in a lovely sculpture along the White Rock promenade.  We enjoy visiting there very much and hope a lucky finder enjoys the blessing in honor of St. Patrick's Day in March. 

The beautiful weather prompted our placement of a heart blessing on a bench along the White Rock Pier and Promenade.  Valentine's Day brought wonderful sunshine and lots of people were out enjoying the views.

Peace Arch Park is located at the U.S. Canada border and is a beautiful place to leave a heart blessing for the lucky finder.  We enjoy visiting this park and its beautiful views, gardens and hiking trails.  

Another heart blessing in honor of Valentine's month was left at the overlook in Blaine, Washington.  Views from the overlook of Drayton Harbor, Semiahmoo, and White Rock never disappoint.  The bottled blessing was deposited on one of the benches.  

A Heart blessing was left for the fortunate person who happens to visit the Bessie and Otto Vogt Beach Access Park in Birch Bay, Washington.  This is is a lovely space with beautiful views, shops and restaurants and lots of fun!

The Heart blessing was left for the fortunate person who happens to visit the pier in White Rock, B.C.  The pier is located on Marine drive and is a lovely space with shops and restaurants and lots of fun!
