island. The rest of us slept in 'til at least 7:00 and then went for a swim in the pool, then had breakfast. We watched from our balcony as a man cooked bacon on the barbeque. We called down to him to ask him how to do it, then as soon as he was finished, Todd took our bacon down and we ended up with perfectly cooked, crispy bacon to have with our grilled pineapple and eggs.
We met Joy and Jan at 3:00 in the afternoon at the Kauai Coffee Company. They had had a wonderful trip at sea, saw schools of dolphins, and beautiful fish.
Look! Jan and Tom discovered a leaf just for them! It says "Tom loves Jan '09". What a surprise (don't let them know that we had been there days earlier)We drove up to Waimea Canyon for the beatiful views and then on up to Koke'e State Park to the Kalalau Valley Lookout to watch the sunset. It was cold and raining, so some of us sat in our cars to warm up while Todd and Davy kept watching and photographing. When the sun started to set, we could see the sky clear up so we all dashed back up to see the sunset. It was still cold, about 60 degrees (we, of course were dressed for 80 degrees), but worth the wait.

and then the beautiful sunset.It was dark when we drove down into Waimea (of course), and we still hadn't had our picnic dinner (which Tom and I had fixed in the morning), so we finally found a spot with a picnic table and lights...at the Waimea High School! There was a football practice going on, so we had some entertainment while we ate!
Right down the street was the Waimea Foreign Church. Keith had taken us there last trip, so we knew all about it. It used to be called the Foreign Church in the 1850's because the services were held in English. It was very beautiful in the moonlight, so Todd and Davy took some shots.
