Diamond Head - December 30, 2016 

Today Shell wanted to hike the infamous and popular Diamond Head trail. The last time Shell and I did Diamond Head together was our second date as a couple in December 1999, or January 2000. I still have undeveloped pictures in some disposable film camera somewhere in a box. I of course have Diamond Head many times, too much in fact.  

We parked at KCC this time and walked up the road through the tunnel and started the trail. It took us 35 minutes or so to the top. Shell is in good condition now because she has been exercising and eating healthy. At the top like always were a lot of tourists. Going back down was fast, maybe 20 minutes to the car. We saw Kenji, Scott, and Mateo. They were going to take down Kenji's Christmas tree he puts up every year.  For the past 4 years, right before Christmas he carries a Christmas Tree to the bunker at the top. People who come here for Christmas love it because they get a nice picture of a Christmas Tree. Today I broke a good sweat. I haven't broken a sweat in 3 weeks, well since the marathon. 

After the hike I drove down the street to Whole Foods to eat and shop. I love Whole Foods but it is so darn expensive.
