We’ve left the island where Obama is vacationing and are now enjoying the Garden Island called Kauai. It’s remote, untamed feel is in complete contrast to Waikiki. Our first evening we attended a Polynesian luau. While waiting in line to enter, families were having their photo taken with a beautiful Hawaiian woman and man, both barely dressed. Roo has two strong aversions that have been part of his personality since he’s had the ability to express his likes and dislikes. The first is food. The second is having his picture taken. Even though we gave him the option, he choose to join the photo. Providing comic relief for the impatient luau attendees waiting in line, he announced to the photographer he was going to “put on his grumpy face”. So we have this:
The weather has been a mix of sun, refreshing rain, and at times, both sun and rain together. We are near the shore, but apparently the precipitation increases as you travel inland. Mount Wai’ale’ale, located bulls eye, is the wettest spot on earth. We’re not an “adventure with the rugged” type of family, nevertheless, we will take advantage of Kauai’s natural splendor and try new things. Already today, Roo had his first kayak ride within a lagoon. And of course, more play at the beach.
