The team made it to the last of the 50 states: HAWAII.
Because of hurricane Lowell, schools have been closed in the last couple of days, so the team decided to explore the island.
The team ran along Makaha beach and a few brave souls jumped in the water before the hurricane hit Hawaii.
Beautiful beach with crystal clear aqua color water surrounded by majestic mountains. A true paradise!
The neighborhood where we stayed was so peaceful and amazing.
Near the place we were staying we found a Hawaiian Heiau, which is an ancient Hawaiian temple or place of worship ranging from simple stone clearings to massive, terraced rock platforms.
On our way to the Heiau, we had to walk through a lot of debris since the hurricane knocked over tress and branches everywhere.
Lots of streets were flooded and there was sand everywhere on the roads.
After a two and a half hour traffic, we made it to the beach. The team ran 7 miles from Kailua Beach to Lanikai Pillbox.
We met a few friends along the way and shared the peace torch.
This young lady working at a restaurant wanted to hold the torch and make her own wish for world peace. Then she called her coworkers to come out and hold the torch as well.
The rest of the coworkers holding the torch.
More friends happy to participate.
Gorgeous vistas along the way to the top.
Mother Nature at its best!
Thank you Hawaii! Very grateful to be here in paradise. We can't wait to visit schools tomorrow.
