Hawaii part TWO

So Wednesday rolls around and Phyllis wants to take me on a driving tour of some of the island. She showed me some of the new housing developments and their spectacular views worth millions, we went up to the golf course by the house which also had amazing views, then she took me to the natural wonder known as Spouting Horn. It’s a hole in a rock that juts out over the ocean so every time a big wave goes under the rock, water sprays up like a geyser. Its is a very cool site. There is also a little craft fair there where I bought a black pearl necklace and some earrings to match. I love black pearls and not just because it happens to be the name of a certain pirate ship...seriously, I really like the pearls. Quiet you!
Yesterday, I got another little taste of the native culture here on Kawa’i. Phyllis and I went to a local sunshine market (farmers market) where local farmers brought all their fresh produce and set up shop. It was held in Hanapepe in a field behind the main street, it was really refreshing to see all the different venders selling their goods and really loving what they were doing. Everyone was so friendly. We bought some amazing looking asparagus and huge avocados and a bunch of other fresh fresh green goods. That night we had dessert for dinner. Alyssa’s aunt Sara is part of a national women’s service club called The Zonta Club. Every year they sponsor this charity event called Eat Dessert First. Local restraunts and bakers donate beautiful decadent desserts and from 5:30 to 7:30pm people pile into the Marriot in Lanai and eat and bid at a silent auction full of things also donated by local crafts people. All the profits go to scholarship funds for students on the island. It was really a fun time, also, kind of nauseating mainly because I have no self control. It was chocolate! Would you have?! Im not sure if I will be able to write again before I leave for New Zealand, but the next couple of days are sure to bring lots of sunshine and gallivanting. I leave Monday night at 9pm from Kawa’i to Honolulu, then leave from Honolulu 2 hours later for New Zealand, if you’re awake give me a call, ill just be sitting in the airport staring at the wall trying not to freak out. Just kidding, I’ll be fine. Sorry its kind of long, get over it. Thanks for reading!
