hawaii happenings from sunday

i planned a trip to poipu, a rather luxurious resort town for sunday. the intention was to rent bikes (hence the dew rag) and do a ten mile trail that has plaques with points of interest in the area, as well as go to a rumored-to-be desolate beach. hopefully i'll have some beach pictures up soon, but we didn't want to take brian's mom's camera onto the beach with us most of the time, so we ususally used our disposable. that still needs to be developed.



once there, the rain was coming and going and we found no hourly bike rentals, only daily. as it was already 4 o'clock by the time we got there, we opted to skip the bikes rather than fork out 40 bucks for a few hours. so, no bike pictures, however now is as good a time as any to let everyone know that kauai is over run with chickens. if they scare you, don't go there. i thought they were cute. they weren't very photogenic, though, so this is about the best i got.



spouting horn. it's a lava tube on the beach. when the waves hit the shore, it spouts into the air, sometimes looking like a geyser. for those such as my sister-in-law who crave knowledge, go here to read about it.



as we were headed out of town, we stopped for a snack at genki sushi for a snack. it's a chain with fast, mass-produced sushi, but it seemed great to us. and very inexpensive for hawaii, only 20 bucks for a very substantial snack.



on the way back home, we went to see some falls. i forget their name at the moment, but they were pretty. more to come tomorrow!
