Kauai: East Coast



Okay. First, a run. And Kauai coffee. Rain, of course. The boys ate cereal and finished off another pineapple. Mass at an open air church in Hanalei, mostly filled with visitors. The priest told a good joke about two boys. A stop at Java Kai for coffee and a waffle...and a really crazy mix of flavors and ice cream for Jack's shave ice.



We met Emily at Lydgate. The boys swam in the pools and we took a walk down the beach.





We had lunch at Bubba's in Kapa'a. ("We cheat tourists, drunks, and attorneys.") After we said goodbye to Emily, we drove into the interior a bit, saw a waterfall, a valley, and the royal birthstone. Going back home, we stopped at Maloaa fruit stand for yet another pineapple, a banana, a papaya, an onion, and an avocado, each perfectly ripe. Oh, and we picked up some opah at the market. We arrived home, and after a couple of our mai tais on the lania, with chips and guacamole, we broiled the opah with butter, onion, lemon, pepper and the grated coconut, while the pink of the sunset reflected in the overhead clouds. The boys and I went for a night swim in the rain, and that was about that.
