Hideaways Beach

On our way to the beach this morning, we passed the taro fields and stopped to capure their simple beauty. Taro is a perennial, tropical plant primarily grown as a root vegetable for its edible starchy corm, and as a leaf vegetable--toxic until you cook it.



We then headed to Hideaways beach which was a steep 10 minute walk down the cliff.



Aiden has become a total beach baby--loving the sand and seeking out the water (quite a shift from the beginning of the trip).

Late in the afternoon we got a surprise visitor. A giant sea turtle made his way up onto the beach to warm in the sun.
