Friday: Helloooo Sunshine!
Finally, warm sunny skies upon awakening.
After a breakfast of bananas, pinepple, waffles and (for Dan) sausage, we head for the pool. You may remember that the elusive Dan made a brief blog appearance there on Friday.
Then off to Hanalei Yoga for Hatha Flow with Tara. It is so easy to sweat and purify on these humid days, Dan has to wring me out when he picks me up. Dan prepared a picnic lunch and we go directly to Haena State Park to enjoy the feast.
The highlight of the day had to be the Limahuli National Tropical Botanical Garden, set on 17 acres and dedicated to caring for endangered species of plants. This could be an entire post in itself (from Dan: when time permits, which most likely will be after we get home since the weather is finally nice here, we'll do a web page of photos from the garden). We strolled the ancient ruins for two hours with a self-discovery map and thrilled at each new plant and tree. It was like the Hawaiian version of Honeymoon Heights at Holden Village.
Here is today's pose of the Day . . . Tree Pose.
"Let go of all words and adjectives that describe yourself.
They don't serve you . . .
They only serve to differentiate and separate you.
Instead surrender and be one with everything." ~Tara
Then a little shopping . . . at Foodland, Susan needs a new sarong. We have an appetizer, and a glass of wine before going out to Sabella's, an upscale Italian spot in a nearby developement. Dan likes the lasagna, but finds it to be way heavy on the rosemary. Susan loves her eggplant parmigiana. The wine was Il gufo . . . what a name. The restaurant has been open less than a year, and they're still figuring things out. We'll give them a couple more years before we return.
To cap the romantic evening we went to the Princeville Hotel's "Living Room" for a Tuitini (a Bombay sapphire martini with a splash of Grand Marnier) and the piano bar. It is an amazing place. We went outside we felt small under the magnificent canopy of stars.
Goodnight all, and Mahalo

Those photos of the garden are absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to see the rest.
Oops, the just published comment was from me.
