Kauai - the Garden Island

On Columbus Day weekend we went to Kauai! It was beautiful. Our first stop was to Waimea Canyon, which they call the Canyon of the Pacific. We just drove around to different lookouts and took pictures. There are also hikes you can take, would like to do that next trip. They have made many movies on Kauai, South Pacific, one of the Raiders, and one of the Jurassic Park, to mention a few.

It was a little chilly and rain moves in and out quickly.



This was view from 4,000 feet, what you can't see because of the weather is the water beyond. Gorgeous! One of my favorite stops was this fruit stand!! It was just so cute, they had of course fresh fruit, but we got a couple of smoothies, they were ono! (good)
Kileaua Lighthouse and a bird sanctuary. It was a lovely stop.

Nene, endangered Hawaiian goose. They were tame and not aggressive like most, so cute.

The walk to the lighthouse had burrows in the ground around us, containing baby sheerwaters, here's one, there were at least 25 of them.
