Our first island was Kaua'i, where we stayed in Hanalei on the north shore just a stones throw from this beach. Each morning, Gail (who ran the B&B where we were staying) would make us breakfast of local fruits, a fruit smoothy and something speical like rice kasha (rice pudding) or waffles. We converted to island time pretty quickly and forgot the day of the week pretty quickly.

The sky turned purple at sunset one night. After the sun went down, on a clear night you could see the Milky Way in all of it's glory.
