Saturday - June 9th

SLEPT IN!  Very quiet here with the exception of the recycle sorters....bottles and glass....AND the roosters who do not know when 6 am is.  Some are on CST, some on MST, PST and some on their OWN time!!  All night...I think they are the state bird...

Lazy day for all of us.  We hung around and did laundry, read, napped, etc.  Then we took off to the nearby grocery store because Jim lost his reading glasses.  Ask him how.  I can't tell you....it's a funny story though!!  Went next door to the grocery store and had shave ice.  SHAVE ICE...not shaved.  Kent & Terrie enjoyed blue raspberry, pineapple & guava and Jim & I enjoyed a strawberry & pineapple one.  A few brain freezes occured but it was YUMMY!!  Kent & Terrie had some on Maui but they said this was better.

We then went across the road and enjoyed a scenic overlook of a Wildlife Refuge....Hanalei Lookout...mountains with a valley full of taro fields.  They make poi out of taro root.  I'm not thinking I will like it from a consistency standpoint but I will probably give it a try at the luau next week.  Hopefully there will be no gag reflex!

Came back to the condo and went to the pool and hot tub...ocean views from the hot tub area were pretty sweet....there's a golf course in between - Jim & Kent have a tee time for tomorrow.  We will send you some pics of the pool area and golfers tomorrow night...it's going to be a slower pace this week and we are all thankful for that!

OH MY...I almost forgot to tell you about our visitor this evening...a salamander came into the kitchen and was climbing the wall while we were eating.  Kent trapped it and threw it over the deck...UGH!  I am not a fan of reptiles so I'll be checking my bed before I go to sleep tonight!!

ALOHA!
