Kauai 2008: Day 2

Here’s the report from my second day in Kauai. Why the chickens? Because this island is crawling with them. Which is kind of annoying when you want to sleep late — they don’t keep the same hours as I do.

All of the photos in my Kauai galleries were taken with my Canon PowerShot SD850 IS.

Ginger anyone?

Lily pads and orchids in the garden in our complex

My favorite pic of the day: the Kilauea lighthouse

The surf was huge on the north shore of the island

Beginners need not apply

Now it’s time to go for a swim! I can’t name most of these, so I’ll leave out the captions.

Back on the surface, now…

Now this is living… great view, sunset, and a Mai Tai at the Princeville Hotel
