The Garden Isle

Every time I come to Kauai, I remember why I love it so much. It is such a beautiful place with many things to do or you can just do nothing and enjoy the surroundings! Brent and I have been here for about 4 days and we have a few more left before returning to all the obligations of regular life. It has been so nice to be here.

We found a couple of great places to eat. Yesterday we went to a place called Monico's Taqueria in Wailua. I had 2 fish tostadas that were gourmet, to say the least. The fish was ahi which was seared, served on a bed of delicious pinto beans, avacado, fancy lettuce with a radish slice on top and oh, that was all on a corn tostada. Brent had a huge burrito with carnitas inside served with a delicious tomatillo sauce. Today we stopped at a little shrimp shack in Waimea and had coconut shrimp. Yummy!

If you have ever been to Hawaii, you know that there are chickens and roosters everywhere. Well, there is this mother hen with 8 new little chickies running around our timeshare. Yesterday we saw one of the chicks running all by itself by the pool. Brent went over to see if he could steer him in the direction of his mom and he ran faster than Brent! Too funny. I later saw the mother hen with all 8-guess the chick caught up with his family.

These photos aren't intended to make you jealous-we just wanted to share some of the great things to see while you are here.
