Day 6

Hi. These photos are out of order because I don't feel like putting them in order. We are still having fun. I forgot that I hadn't shown you where we are staying yet. Here's a picture of the pool and what's on the other side of the pool. It's not exactly where we sleep, but we have been spending a lot of time here.
Here's a view of our hotel from the pool.
Here we are right after we arrived in Hawaii.
Here we are at a real Hawaiian luau. Funny story...it started raining really hard right after we finished eating, and they had to cancel the rest of the luau. But, we got to see them bring the pig out of the ground (see photo below), we got to go through the buffet (not for the picky eater), and we got to see the dancers perform one dance. They gave us a raincheck but I'm afraid we might be booked for the other nights they had available. Oh well. It was a fun and very wet experience. This was before the rain.

These are apple bananas. They are the size of a person's palm. I've heard they're delicious. Got them at an outside market yesterday.
Here they are getting the pig out of the imu (underground oven) at the luau.

Here's our kitchen.
Here's our view from our living room.

A beautiful sunset at the luau. After one fairly heavy rain, but before a very heavy one.
These are the crabs that hang out on the rocks outside our hotel.
The avocados here are HUGE. Like, the size of canteloupes. So when we were at the market yesterday, I was trying to find some avocados that were fairly ripe, which were the smaller ones. The guy saw that I was looking at the smaller ones and gave me a bag, filled it with avocados and told me to just take them, that he wouldn't sell them to me. So now we will be having avocados every day until we leave which is fine. Anyway, I took two limes and gave him $3, and we called it a deal.
Here we are again at the luau.
Again, at the luau, next to the dead roasting pig.

So that was the end of day 6...and over the weekend we don't have a whole lot going on, so there may not be as many pictures. But next week we are going to Volcanos Nat'l Park, going on a hike or two, going parasailing, and on a sunset cruise so it will pick up again in a couple days. For now, it's time to relax by the pool with a book. Have a great weekend everyone.
