Seals!

I have been living in Hawaii for two years today, but this was the first time that I have ever seen SEALS on the beach! My friend and I got there about 5 minutes before the wildlife protection services discovered that there were seals on the beach, so we were able to get really close. This all happened on Sunset Beach (one of the most boring beaches in my opinion, but aptly named for it's incredible sunsets).

After that we went to Ted's Bakery to get pie. This place is probably the most famous of all the bakeries in Oahu. Although they don't just serve dessert, they also have various (overpriced) meal items. Definitely recommended.

I also bought a car. That's right, a car. I swore I would never get one, but here I am. With a car. A real car. That drives. Yeah. Okay, so it's a 1994 Toyota, but it gets from A to B, so that's all that matters. It's also not to bad on gas. So how did I get this car? Well, I was forced. My internship is a 2.5 hr bus ride away. With a 45 minute transfer. One way. Combine that with the incredibly unreliability of the bus system here and you have a girl that needs a car. I literally spent 7 hours commuting a few weeks ago when I still didn't have a car. It was awful. But that's all in the past now. I have a car. My first real car. :)
