Sometimes, it rains here

Just like in Oregon... If it's going to be green, it has to rain. Today, we were pretty much socked in from the get-go. So, early on, we decided that it was a good day to get in the car and go for a drive, have breakfast out, and do some shopping.
After breakfast at the Oki Diner in Lihue, about 30 minutes south of here, we drove further south to see Naiwilili Harbor. Sure enough, since it was Tuesday, the cruise ship was in. Susan took a picture:




Then it was off to Hilo Hattie's for some shopping. That was forgettable, but Susan did spot a wonderful flower outside the building:



We wandered back north, driving around Kapaa and through some terrific rainstorms. Lunch at home (sushi for Susan, salami and bread for Dan). Dan practiced savasana on the couch, while reading a good book about golf, and dozed. Susan painted:



We went to the pool for a bit, but got rained out. Back home for a while, then Susan went to Relax Deeply yoga at 5:30. Back home at 7:30, down to the gazebo to grill (pictures tomorrow), and a nice dinner of teriyaki chicken, grilled pineapple and salad:




And that's it for today. It's closing in on 9 p.m. Hawaii time; we'll watch half of the movie "Gandhi" tonight and then hit the sack.

The pose of today in Ardha Chandrasana.




"Yoga is is not about shutting out or shutting down. It is about embracing what is and inviting it in."
— Bhavani

"Yoga is a returning to self, as you were before you were Self. The breath is the language connecting the spirit to the body."
— Bhavani




Another great day in paradise. More tomorrow.

Aloha,

Dan and Susan
