I had passed a small smoothie shop but after parking the car my friends spotted a little Mexican place across the street.
Mi Casa Taqueria

It was my friend, Jason, who turned me on to the fish taco. But, fish taco’s are not easy to find in Pittsburgh. So since they were on the menu I had to order a fish taco - it was delicious.

From my table I could look out over the strip mall (they have a lot of strip malls in Hawaii) and see the mountains. It kind of reminds me of being in Colorado.

I think it was Laniakea beach on the North Shore.
These turtles are huge. Much bigger than I have ever expected.


Turtles are a protected species and there is a group of volunteers that sit on the beach to watch the turtles and make sure that the tourists keep thier distance. I like to think of these people as turtle babysitters. The turtle babysitter that was there when we visited looked a lot like Greg Brady.
The turtle babysitters keep logs of which turtles are basking in the sun and what they are doing. 3 of the turtles have antennas attached to them for tracking purposes.
I like to call this one Turtle 2.0.

We had breakfast at Koa Pancake house. It is amazing. We were told to try the portuguese sausage. Does anyone know what the difference between regular sausage and Portuguese sausage is?

Koa Pancake house is amazing. We don’t have anything like this back in Pittsburgh.

Not only are the pancakes delicious, but the hot chocolate comes with sprinkles too.

I am actually writing this post from the Starbucks in Pearl City. This is my first visit to Hawaii and it is so great that I can blog while traveling.
I also write a blog about Pittsburgh - www.IheartPGH.com.
I hope you will read and comment and maybe help us to find some more cool things to see while we are here visiting.
