Another beautiful sunrise at Anini. There is almost no wind in the morning and the lagoon is glassy…
We went to the Hanalei farmers market and met Julian and other old friends:
They have live music at the market now, and a great lawn to sit and listen on. It’s right next to the Kalo (taro) fields/paddies and easy to get a great shot of the mountains:
Then we all went to the Hanalei pier to go swimming. the only parking space Andy could find was on the beach, facing the water and Hanalei River mouth (all the other cars were parked there as well). Sonja calls it a “Beach Park.”
We watched an outrigger race from the pier
Leilani got a swimming lesson from uncle Julian; she is really doing much better and will put her head in the water and dive down by herself. Hanalei beach is perfect for her, with a wide shallow area, no rocks and only small waves.
We got lucky again and found another nice campsite far from the noisy people, so we moved our tent. Later on Delfi an her parents came to visit us. The girls had fun playing together and Leilani made herself a limu-beard:
Typical camping on Kaua’i photo (though usually not this well organized):
Now that she’s almost swimming, Leilani is getting interested in this snorkeling thing that Mommy and Daddy keep doing all the time–I think we’ll have to get her a mask for her next birthday on Kaua’i:
Every sunset is different:
