Tuesday, June 12th

LONG day!!  We got up and drove to Wiamea Canyon (like our Grand Canyon) on the West side of the island, shopped a bit at some out of the way town, ate a great lunch and went to the Red Dirt Shirt place where they filmed an episode of Dirty Jobs....very interesting!!

We then drove to Smith's Family Luau up near the airport in Lihue and enjoyed looking at their gardens, eating a luau (poi was too gross for me to try) and then a show that highlighted the many cultural influences of Hawaii.  This included hula dancers, Tahitian dances, Chinese & Japanese influences, Fillipino and San Juan....there was a fire dancer....he had batons lit on fire on each end.  I said after the show I think he was a drum major in high school.  HA!

Long day and we are all trashed.  Going to bed!!
