8:28AM\u00a0 70 degrees (which feels cool to this spoiled Minnesotan)\u00a0 Anahola Bay (east shore of Kauai)\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cloudy and gray.\u00a0 Spitting rain rated 90% likely to tip over into heavy rain.\u00a0 Feels like I’ve moved to a different place entirely.\u00a0 The gray ocean out the front door of Da Fish Shack looks like Lake Superior in November.\u00a0 Though the palm tree and African Tulip (think Minnesota Buckthorn) between me and the ocean suggest a different locale (think Kauai).<\/p>\n
Cool last night.\u00a0 Cool enough that I got up and found a new blanket to add to the light cover on the bed when I came.\u00a0 A little trouble sleeping at first with the ocean so close and constant, new bed but woke up at 8 AM feeling refreshed.<\/p>\n
Now I have to consider what to do on a rainy day.\u00a0 I have to do some grocery shopping and I want to try the Ono Char Burgers for lunch.\u00a0 Mario said they were among the best on the planet, so burgers it is for the midday meal.<\/p>\n
My inclination right now, based on the pattern set by the last couple of weeks, is to go slow and lay low.\u00a0 Tuesday before 2PM I’m gonna be in Hanalei for the farmer’s market, which an article says is a great place to meet locals and sample locally produced food.\u00a0 Must be popular since they ring a bell at 2pm, drop a rope, then, let the shopping begin!<\/p>\n
Kate’s on her way back or already home, so this leaves me in solo traveler mode.\u00a0 I tend to be more introspective when alone, though I’m plenty that way in a group or with Kate, too.\u00a0 A week to focus on Taoism, the ocean, the island and read a book Kate found at the Lihue Borders,\u00a0 Honor Killing<\/u>.\u00a0 It is the true story of\u00a0a sensational crime and trial in 1930’s Hawai’i that, the author David Stannard claims ,changed Hawai’i from an oligarchic, plantation-based fascist state to the modern, liberal democracy and multicultural phenom it is today.\u00a0 A big premise and looks like an interesting read.\u00a0 Thanks, Kate.<\/p>\n
