Day 16: I'm Swiiiimmin' in the Rain.... (J)

---------------------------------------------
Chill day today.  Went to the gym, wandered around Ala Moana Shopping Center for a little bit, then headed off to get some much needed alone time with the ocean.  To my initial dismay, it started to rain as soon as I got in.  Not wanting to be cheated of my "life contemplation" swim for the day, I proceeded to go for it anyway.  I gotta say-- it was a really cool experience.  The water was still super clear and calm, it was still sunny, and the rain cooled me off as I swam my pseudo-laps.  It was pretty surreal to breath to the side and see paddle boarders, the sunset on the horizon, and the droplets of rain making tiny rainbows all in one quick snapshot. 
-------------------------------------------- 

Unfortunately, I had neither my trusty Elph, nor my disposable underwater camera at hand.  However, because I would never allow a blog post without some type of image attached, I dutifully recreated today's magical swim on my laptop's standard "Paint" program.         (Please note: I do not have a mouse here.) --(John)
