A quiet day of resting

November 16th. Mary is still not well so we drove up the coast to Keauhou to find a walk in clinic. After contacting our health insurance provider to make sure Mary was covered she went in to see the doctor.He prescribed an antibiotic for a sinus infection. The hope is that will be the end of her illness.
We then drove to Ho'okena State Park which is located next a goregous beach. Wild hens and Roosters abound. Yes and there are Mongooses. Hope to photograph one, but they are elusive.
Mary was zonked out by the antibiotics so I got my snorkling gear. I swam offshore about 30/40 meters and was rewarded with a wide variety of fish , including,Reef Tigerfish, Moorish Idol,Yellow Tangs,Bird Wrasse, Spotted Boxfish, Pinktail Triggerfish,Yellowstriped Goatfish,White Spotted Puffer,and Ornate Butterfly. The current was swift so had to be aware of how close to the coral I was going.
After Mary woke we decided to head back to the Manago Hotel as Mary likes to take steam baths to relieve her congestion. She is a real trooper and does not complain much.
The hope is that the antibiotics begin to take affect today.
