Day 9

Alive. Got a coconut, never having opened one before I took a pen and like administering an adrenaline shot came down hard on its skull. It became the first thing of the week to “blow up in my face”. Stunned, a geyser erupted into my face soaking my shirt and all four walls.

Hiked Pumpkin Hill, the tallest point on the island. The view commanded a 321 degree view of what you might expect from a decent quality Hawaiian post card. As beautiful as the view was our gazes were aimed at the ground at a leaf cutter ant super highway, so industrious, so small. It got me thinking of the Argentine ants, I believe that they will soon surpass humans as the dominant species, or else it will be yet another failed socialist super system.
