what i did last week.

the view from our back yard was incredible. (see above.)

the day that i got really sick, we'd spent some time hiking around this really windy point and we found a labyrinth.

maybe the wind helped bring about my sickness. who knows. oh well, there was a good photo opp here with me inside the labyrinth. check out that tatt.



on another hike, we found some really pretty, yellow bamboo. thank goodness B purchased a new Nikon D40 before the trip. it did such a nice job capturing what we were seeing.

like this waterfall, for example.

and this lovely couple on the beach. stunning.

the most touristy thing we did was go to a luau. it was rated one of the best in the world by the zagat survey, so i thought it would be worth it. it was. here they are unearthing the pig. the best pig i have ever eaten in my life. hooray for pig. (sorry amy.)

although we were disappointed that we didn't get leis when exiting our plane in the airport, we were thrilled to get real ones, made of orchids, at the luau. i guess the $100 ticket per person had to pay for something else other than the pig.

i've never seen anyone wear a lei so well. have you?
