Welcome Luau

Luau--is a grand celebration of food, entertainment and
Polynesian culture surrounded by the Aloha Spirit.
 
 
 
On Friday evening we were treated to a "Welcome Luau"
 at Dr. S's home on the north shore of Kauai.


 
The rain shower didn't dampen the mood
 
it gave us beautiful rainbows
 
R went to explore Dr. S's meditation cottage
 
we didn't get to meet Harley...
he doesn't take kindly to strangers :)
 
The meat is on the grill.
One thing about life in Hawaii, there is never a shortage of ono grinds



Sunset on the north edge of the Napali Coast.
 
 Entertainment by Tapu, a Tahitian drummer and singer
 and an all around cool guy.
 

and hula by Andrea!!

It was a  wonderful evening with new friends.
 
Mahalo to Monique and Dr. S for their kind hospitality.

    It must be quite and experience to be imbedded in a brand new culture. So welcoming and such a beautiful environment.
    Enjoy all the celebrations.

    What are "ono grinds"? Am I the only clueless one?

    Looks like a fabulous time! I want to go to there!

    What a gorgeous place! I also wonder like Jackie Bouchard what ono grinds are. Or do I really want to know?

    I don't think I've ever seen a warning sign for a rooster before! Hilarious!

    The North shore is my favorite place on the island. We just got back from Kauai for couple days now, and my heart and soul still in Kauai. I lost count how many time we have been there, but we haven't got bore about this place. Thanks for sharing.
