I gave her a negative report as a warning and she took her turn in the porta-potty from hell. She came out looking quite disgusted as we all shared our porta-potty horror stories and continued on. We were happy to see an aid station not too far away. Volunteers offering cold cups of water were lined up all along the sides of the roads. I happily took a cup and promptly used it to wash my hands.
Cups litter the highway, abandoned by weary walkers.
We were all in great spirits as we hit the 4 mile mark. I was beginning to wonder if Martin was baking in the sun wearing his Aloha Shirt and long pants. As soon as we walked out from under the overpass, he popped open his little pink umbrella for some well-needed shade. The rest of us were quite comfortable in our shorts. We passed by Trini Kaopuiki, the weather girl on KHON Channel 2 News who was interviewing a little girl who was doing the walk with her father.
