Yes, my friends, we have become LOST fans. I mean, who wouldn't? We watched it when it first came on and then kind-of drifted away, but now we are hooked, and Eric was given the first season for his birthday (so we could catch up!). We actually have to get caught up on 24 first, but LOST is next in line! Anyway, as many of you may know, LOST is filmed almost exclusively here on O'ahu. So, we started doing some asking around, and research and found a beach where they film a lot of the scenes. We made the drive up to the North Shore one Saturday morning and arrived to a beautiful, almost deserted beach. Then we found out that this particular beach is more well known for it's turtle population than being a site for LOST. There were 7 or 8 in the water right by the shore. We must have stood there and watched them and played with them for almost an hour! It was so much fun to be that close to them. The girls loved it too! When we finally made it over to the filming location, which is easy to spot b/c of the orange fence they have surrounding it, we were a little disappointed b/c there wasn't anything there. You could see back in the woods that things were under tarps and the "groundskeeper" was there watering the trees and grass, but there were no sets like we had hoped to see. We did find out from a nice lady who lives in the area, though, that shooting was supposed to start back up later on in August, and there used to be a large set there, but that had just finished tearing down the last bits of it the day before ....figures.
But, the highlight of our trip was the sea turtles. And, since we were on the North Shore, and it was about time for lunch, we had to stop at Cholo's and get our Mexican fix!
