First few days in Kauai

The green arrow's where I'm at (more detailed map of Kauai)

the view from my backyard
(that's Mts. Wai'ale'ale and Kawaikini, the highest points in Kauai at about 5,200 ft)

Gecko hanging out on my screen door
the raw lasagna from The Blossoming Lotus, made from macadamia nut ricotta, rainbow chard, and some other delicious stuff

sunrise at Lydgate beach

one of the billions of roosters on the island that make lots of noise at 5am (click here for historical info and a recipe for them)


These 2 are from a hike up Mt. Kahili, which was only about a mile and a half, but got to about 3,000 feet and was one of the most precarious hikes I've been on. The goat-trail looking ribbon on the ridgeline in the picture below is the trail. 9 people started, only 4 made it to the top (the others turned around, they didn't fall).
