Luau and Dancing

We are enjoying the beautiful Hawaiian sunsets and watching the sea out our window. Kerry tried snorkeling yesterday but was disappointed to find that he couldn't see anything without his glasses on. I was disappointed too because I wanted him to see the colorful fish in the reef outside our hotel. That is the best experience to watch the little and huge fish wandering around. I even saw a Mora Eel yesterday.

We stopped at the Hawaii Temple to take pictures yesterday. We were disappointed that the temple was closed for renovation and found that it was boarded up. They must be doing something major there.

When we got to the Polynesian Cultural Center they took us on a boat to our first destination. My first impression of the boat was that it had a really hot seat and we burned our rears. I kept waiting for the guide to be knocked off the boat at one of the bridges because he was standing up and the bridges were so low.

It was great learning about the different cultures in Polynesia. I especially enjoyed the dancing. I did the hula with Kerry and Kerry did the men's Fiji dance. He was having a great time. It's so nice to see him relax for a change and not have to work. In fact he hasn't opened his work email all week. It's a record!!

At our Luau we were awarded leis made from orchids. It was good food, entertainment and conversation. We made our way through salad, pork, Teriaki Chicken, and some purple rolls made from Taro root that were delicious. They even served drinks in whole pineapples. That was fun too. Afterwards we went to the show that featured Polynesian dance. I loved this experience. Both Kerry and I have wanted to do this for years.
