We went to a Luau !

 

Yesterday we went to a Luau. It was amazing, never been to one before. We first took a little shuttle to the area where the Luau was to begin. The weather, scenery and the animals were unbelievable.

 

 

 

Next they showed us how they cook the pig for the Luau. They start with the blowing of the shells to announce the beginning of the Luau. Next they told us about more of their traditions. Then they showed how they get the pigs out and how they prepare it for the feast. By the end of that, there was time for us to walk around the grounds and get some more photos. It seems like this place just keep getting more amazing by the day, take a look for yourself.

 

 

The dinner was great!  The entertainment was great too!

 

 I love the Hawaiian people, I think I should have come here years ago!!!

 

 

After dinner there was a show of all the different cultures, it was so fun to see their different customs, music and dancing. I would have taken photos of it but they asked us not to.

It was a late night, so this is why I am just now writing about it.  It was simply an amazing evening! I feel sooooooo grateful that we have had the opportunity to come here!

Good night dear friends!

We made it to the top!

Today we went to church and it is neat to see that the church is the same, no matter where you go in the world. It was also funny, because we saw a family that used to be our neighbors there. They just moved to Hawaii 3 weeks earlier. ( Small world ) After church they had by the door fresh avocados and papaya for you to take. Now I would imagine that you wouldn't find that happening any where else but Hawaii...how fun.
 Then after lunch we decided to take a drive. For the last few years that Neal, Shirley and kids have been to Hawaii, they have attempted to drive to the top of Waimea Canyon, to the point of look out over Napali! Each time someone in the family got car sick from all the twisting roads that go all the way up. There were 4 lookout areas plus a museum. They however never made it past the first two look outs. We were blessed that today, that no one got sick and there was lots of sunshine, so we made it to the top. I will let the photos do the rest of the talking tonight!
