Images from Kauai

Japanese headstone

Today I’ll let the images tell the story.

Well, with a little explanation.

I was a pain in the butt today.

Insisted that Kristin drive down dirt roads (many with DO NOT ENTER signs). She was very patient and humored me.

At the end of one such road, we discovered a very cool old cemetary – all the headstones were in Japanese – some from the early 1900’s. Japanese Cemetary

Tall falls!

After another night of mesmerizing rainfall, the waterfalls were just as captivating as the day before.

Every time we looked at the mountain ridge, we’d spot another fall that we hadn’t noticed before.

It’s incredible to think of how many feet these falls plummet, and the volume of water rushing through the several rivers that lead to the ocean.

Many falls

On our drive to Haena Beach park, I again insisted on stopping so that I could photograph this lovely field of blue flowers. Ashley was particularly fond of the horses.

Field of blue

Across from the beach is the Dry Cave. Pretty cool….

The day was mostly overcast and rainy – but the sun did come out for awhile, and we took advantage of it.

Kristin & J’Neil
Ashley and J’neil played in the water, posed and we all built a sand castle.

Until it rained us out.

And we’re all jealous of Ashley’s abs….. though she’s the only one who does a half hour of ab-tightening pilates every night before bed…..

My final photo demand of the day was a stop at the taro fields on the wayhome…..

Wow, simply beautiful. Is Miss Ashley’s ab routine from a DVD? I’m looking for a new core workout DVD.

We are having such a great time… and you guys are so sweet! Jana- I’ve actually been doing Winsor Pilates 50 minute workout about 3-4 times a week… so yeah, it’s a DVD.

Chris- that picture of the horses is my absolute favorite! I kept telling my mother that she needed to take a pic of them. And I’m so glad she did… it’s so beautiful.

Wow! What fabulous pictures. I’m glad Kristin is such a good sister and humored you. I am fascinated by burial sites and would love to have been with you to see this one. Ashley and J’Neil are adorable, I love the beach pictures. Glad you are having fun, please keep the travel updates coming.

Forgot to tell Ashley that I am looking forward to my Ballet lesson with Kennedy tomorrow evening.

Allison, somebody way back in the back of the cave is spying on you.

I can understand the urge to explore. We have wandered down many a dirt road while here in Panama as well. :) I too simply love that horse photo with those beautiful flowers. You all look absolutely fabulous!!
