so nate and i had been wanting to go into town one morning and eat breakfast somewhere yummy! so we did just that! you can see where we (he) got freshed brewed coffee, and my delish breakfast of french toast, bacon, and eggs! you know they say everything is more expensive in hawaii? it's true. our total bill that morning was like $35!! crazy... but good food. you only live once, huh? :)

we also went shopping in town... there was a super cool store that sold only homemade soaps and candles! they made them all right there. we bought lots of good smelling souveniers there! :)

we headed to the south shore after that. we went to shipwrecks beach... it's a popular beach to see the surfers do their thing! we went to eat at a local shopping center.. nate and loni both had some famous "puka dog" which is a hot dog cooked in the bun.. like the bun wraps around it and the filling goes inside. the only thing is it's a huge brat, not a hot dog. so i went next door and had an oreo milkshake for lunch... yummmmy! :)) again... you only live once! ha. 

that nite we met jake at smith's family luau. it was a place sorta like the botanical gardens, and we rode an open bus type deal and got to tour the place. there were huge beautiful peacocks strutting around everywhere! when they yelped, it sount like a cat meowing! also, there were roosters roaming free too! then we saw the guys taking the pig out of the ground! i forget what it's called, but it was a neat ceremony! we feasted on lots of good food (if you haven't noticed by now... we ate ALL THE TIME in hawaii... which is why i'm now trying to lose 5 pounds.. anyways!) after dinner, we watched a hula show. it was really cool to hear the story being told and see the hula dancers... guys and girls, boy could they shake it! :D we had a great time and i'm really glad we got to experience a for real hawaiian luau. it's nothing like i imagined it to be for sure! another end to another fun day!!
