We stayed on Kauai at the Kauai Beach Resorts and Hotel. The place was on the beach with swimming pools for those who don't like to swim in the salt water.
We found the Island Palm restaurant which had wonderful breakfast and we ate supper (for the city folks - Dinner) there 1 night. The fresh flower arrangements were beautiful.
The chickens are all over the island. The story is that the hurricane in the 1900's destroyed the chicken coops and the islanders never could catch all their flock. These chickens are on the roadside and at Costco! The crowing wakes you up from your night's rest and your naps. This picture was made at the dock where we were going on the boat ride to see the Fern Grotto -as in "Blue Hawaii" with Elvis Presley. The hurricane in 1991 cleaned off all the ferns so it was a disappointment to see. The rocks are not expected to be covered again with ferns in our lifetime.
Raymond and I walked along the beach 1 day and I carried my camera.
Raymond's smile on his birthday.
I'm happy to get my feet wet in the Pacific.
On May 30, we drove to Waimea Canyon on the west shore. This is a beautiful drive of twisting, turning roads and from sea level to 4,000 ft. in 6 miles.
While there I did get a photo of this Brazilian cardinal at the state park.
What a wonderful time we had.
