After our trip to the Grotto, we headed over to a local (or should I say THE ONLY) camera shop to try and snag a special lens for Chad's camera, but sadly they were out. We moved onward toward the beach, but not before trying to find a local (almost underground) cookie establishment known as PoPo's Cookies. We just so happened to catch the owner in her store and grabbed several bags of chocolate chip, chocolate chip coconut and butter dream (shortbread with mac. nut). From there we made our way to Wailua Beach and then on to Anini Beach. I have included a couple of photos here for you.
After the beaches, we headed back to our condo for a little R&R before we prepared for our luau in the evening. We decided to go with Smith's Luau because it included a variety of food, entertainment and garden tours. The experience is too detailed and (overly photographed) to capture here, but I can tell you this was a blast. I know it sounds over-the-top touristy, but this one event was really worth it. It was the exact thing my little "mainlander" brain thought the Hawaiians sat around on their beachside huts doing each night all wrapped up in a few hours. I have included just a few photos - one from the Fruit Forest and the others from the visual show. Enjoy! Aloha. (Yes, we realize we have to come home to snow and ice sooner or later, but we are trying to forget that right now.)
