Local Hula Show

Janet and I headed to the east part of the island, she wanted to stop for some fabric! and maybe do a little more shopping . . . we got a late start but got where we wanted to be. we had a late/early lunch or  dinner @ 3:00 and then wandered the Coconut Marketplace for a bit and waited for a Hula Show to take place. the girls were part of a dance studio as part of the ongoing cultural education for most Hawaiians. tonight starting at 5:00 there will be a 4 day Polynesian Festival that will include dancing, drumming, food, crafts and fun! so that is where we will be for the next few days. look for more pictures.
