The crowds were unbelievable – I had never seen Hanalei that busy
Julian had talked us into participating just the previous night – without much of a plan we started:
When it looked a bit plain we started dribbling it with sand and water, we thought it looked really cool.
Many children stopped to tell us they thought we had made the best castle on the beach.
Finishing touches
Unfortunately most adults either thought it was creepy or overlooked it completely… To us it was beautiful.
Leilani built her own minicastle
I was very proud of the moat, and it can’t be seen on any other photo
The competition made great things too:
but many more and better photos of these are on this facebook page
Our friend Julian was one of the organizers
Eventually the crowds went home
