Today is actually day 4--ok I'm a day late but then again I am in Hawaii!
Saturday we had a LOVELY day--walk on the beach, walked in the "river", sat by the pool and talked, then walked to McDonalds (across the street) for a big drink (drinks Here are a dollar too). Our outing Saturday was a drive up the coast (from the east shore to the north shore). So many movie sites along the way--South Pacific, all Jurassic Parks, Raiders of the Lost Ark and others). Kilauea lighthouse was a beautiful vista with lots of red-footed boobies soaring around. Wai'oli mission house -- where we plan to go to church. There was a wedding there while we there and a craft fair going on in the field beside the church. It rained on and aft the whole time we were on our jaunt! Also saw the beach where they shot the song "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair" but it was raining so we didn't get out. Drove as far on highway 56 as it went--WOW! It ended at a mountain that just suddenly shot up--nothing gradually led up to it. (look at a map of Kauai)
Ate at a really nice restaurant--the Dolphin--but a word to the wise--don't order fish and chips and expect fries with it! Long story. Hanalei is beautiful but sort of ritzy and artsy.
The thing that has impresses us the most about Kauai is the mountainous scenery and lack of commercialism. It feels "real"!
More later. (did not preview so excuse any and all errors!)
