The rest of Kauai

 On Thursday we went tubing down an old sugar plantation irrigation ditch. The water was so so cold, but it was a neat experience.
 This is Mout Wai ale ale.

 Thursday night was our luau, and it was so fun. The food was fantastic and hula dancers did a beautiful job.

 On our last morning we went out early to enjoy the beach at sunrise. What a great vacation!

The north shore

 On the 2nd day of our vacation we traveled up to the north shore and found not one, but two farmers markets en route. It was awesome! I had my first taste of fresh mango and passion fruit. YUM!

 Alot of Kauai is rugged and jungle-like. Jurassic Park was filmed on this island.


 The beautiful beaches were just amazing.


 Enjoying the weather!
 Stopping at to see some taro farms in the valley.
 It was pretty cool to see where the ocean had washed all the sand and dirt away from the roots, but those trees where still standing
 
Below: our view all our third day as we hung out at the hotel. My feet where the only part of me that saw the sun. I was so worried about sunburn that I hunched under any covering I could get. Drew, on the other hand was in the sun any moment he could get, which is why he looked like a lobster by the time we left.
