We had so much fun watching the lightning show last week that we decided to go for the gusto again this weekend. This time, we sat in the dark and watched lightning over the Ko'olau range AND over the ocean.
About 6:45pm I went out to connect the run-off tubes in anticipation of more thunderstorms. All the power went out. Once again, I had to eat humble pie and thank Sister A for the headlamps. For the 3rd time in the 3 weeks I've been here - no power.
I wish I could report that sitting in the dark with no distractions makes for more family closeness, but dad acted like a robot whose off switch was flicked, he went down for the count. Mom, Big E and I each read by the light of our individual flashlights. I tried to prepare food for mom that didn't need cooking or heating but protein drink saved the day.
I think Big E has slept more in the past 3 days than she has the last 3 weeks since I've been away. Darkness and lack of power will do that to you.
Ecotourism in its purest form.
