Day 341: 19 November, the Queen’s Bath

Thursday, November 21, 2013

I had wanted to go see the Queen’s Bath since I heard about it last year.  It is ill marked and bad trail.  Maybe they do that to keep those that go see it the ones that really want to. (Nikon P7100) It is a pretty trail, by and large, but I didn’t get any […]

Update on Day 332! (And 335…)

Wednesday, November 20, 2013

The roommate has spoken!  See her answers at: Day 332: 14 November!  Now, in fashionable RED LETTERS! Also in Day 335: 16 November the green prickly looking slipper things are Jack Fruit.  The pods inside are edible, and some think very good. ~Curtis on Kaua’i! {!-{> !

Day 340: 18 November, earlier in the evening, part 2

Wednesday, November 20, 2013

The obligatory Hula lesson!  The guy with the microphone is one of the Smith Family, who were everywhere!  It really is a family business.  This guy was the narrator, introducer, singer, hula helper, and he poured coffee on the side… (Nikon P7100, mostly in super dooper night mode) Tiki Torches! And a great dinner was […]

Day 339: 18 November, earlier in the evening, part 1

Wednesday, November 20, 2013

(These titles keep getting more complicated!) We attended the Smith Family Garden Luau.  It starts with a quick tour of their gardens and time to walk around and enjoy them in the setting sun. Cactus in Hawai’i?  More than you’d think, but this is outside of the gate. (All Nikn P7100, except the next one!) […]

Kaua’i Morning Bonus!

Day 338: A little moonlight (18 November)

Tuesday, November 19, 2013

We went to the Smith Family Luau tonight.  It was wonderful.  This isn’t it.  After being cloudy all day, the skies clear tonight and the (almost) full Moon was out.

Day 337: Chasing the Sun and beyond…

Monday, November 18, 2013

After the Moon we went looking for that sunrise. “It is around here somewhere…” “Nope.” “Maybe over there?” “I see it!  I see it!” Lots of warm, wet beach, too! And that couple again… Foot watching… *** *** “Time for breakfast!  Shoes…errr..on.” Coffee at the Olympic Cafe in Kapa’a. (iPad mini x3) A second floor […]

Day 336: Chasing the Moon…

Monday, November 18, 2013

We got up early and went to watch the moon setting over the ocean.  This is the view over Hanalei. (Canon 7D) Then we decided to ge a better view over the ocean for it.  So off to Ke’e Beach!  Eleven one lane bridges later (no traffic!!!)… Of course it decide to drop into the […]

Day 335: 16 November

Sunday, November 17, 2013

We started the day at the Farmers Market in Hanalei.  It isn’t terribly large, but is usually very well attended.  This is about half of the Market.  There should be a lot more people, but one of the sources for people is the cruise ships, and apparently the one for today got stopped out at […]

Day 334: 15 November, a Day of Rest…

Saturday, November 16, 2013

We didn’t do a whole lot on the 15th…rested up from the previous days!  It also warmed up (not much, about 80F) but with 100% humidity it takes something out of you! These are actually from the 14th, but fit here better.  The resort was holding fire extinguisher training for the staff. It was all […]
