Poipu with Stacey

On Monday August 22, Stacey and I went down south to Poipu for the day before heading back up to the east side for a luau in the evening. Here are some pics from our day in Poipu (luau pics to come later.)


Spouting Horn, a geyser:




The shore to the right of Spouting Horn:



A performer who set up shop near the geyser:



The shopping tent where Stacey bought most of her souvenirs -- see her browsing in the bottom right-hand corner?:



We killed some time picking up miniscule pieces of sea glass at Glass Beach (strange... my Safari spellcheck doesn't recognize the word "miniscule"):





Then we killed some more time at the Kauai Coffee Plantation. I'd never been there before. Outside there was a tree (Stacey, was it called a monogram tree?) with names carved into the leaves, inside there was a gift shop, tiny museum, and an outdoor deck where you could sample dozens of flavors of coffee:



On the way back to Wailua from Poipu, we stopped at the end of the tree tunnel and took pictures. It's one of my favorite easily-accessed scenery spots on the island -- such a beautiful road to drive. Check out all the tropical trees and plants.







And then we went to the Smith Family Luau... stay tuned for pics and a recap.
