Day004: Leaving the Benedictine monastery in Waialua, I was given a warm sendoff with a sung blessing and prayer. After mass, Sister Mary Jo gave me the tour of the grounds – it was a sunny morning and I loved learning about the history of the monastery, the evolution of their buildings from Matson containers, and seeing the plants and animals around the grounds. I was even given an introduction to honeymaking and beekeeping!

After leaving the grounds, I had lunch with my friend James. He’s great.

After spending the afternoon with Marina’s boys who are currently obsessed with Star Wars, we picked up Amy from the airport.
