Honu

Honu is the Hawaiian word for green sea turtles. They're awesome. We saw them on two different beaches on the Big Island, and they were definitely one of (if not the) highlights of the trip for me.

See? He's just chillin'

You can get pretty close to them, but you're not supposed to get too close - you're supposed to show them aloha, and let them nap.

Farther away than I look, but pretty darn close.

 And sometimes they do awesome things, like cuddling.

These ones may have been my faves.
