Day 10

Today started with a hike to the heiau and several successful flights with both the kite and fixed wing remote sensing platforms. The kite is great because of its simplicity. The camera it carries can be set to take pictures at fixed intervals or manually and it can also rotate to obtain pictures from other angles. We had lunch on the beach and I actually got to go in! I was wonderful! We then had a tour of the caves with Dr.Burney. It is interesting to hear him talk about the things I have already read in his book. After working with him for the last few days when I read the book now it is in his southern drawl. We had an early day and came home around four. It was wonderful to get a chance to relax and hang out with everyone. We even had a yoga session on the deck before dinner
