Farmers Market

You can buy avocado, banana, flowers, tangelos, spices, lettuce, cucumber and much more at farmers markets and here you can also get homemade pie...and on top of that gluten free pies! It was a mango gluten free pie and it was pretty darn good (except for the edge of the crust - not so good) We also bought a piece of pina colada pie which was pretty tastie, ummm. Hey Kerry, is this the Farmer's Market or are there many farmers so it the Farmers Market???

Behind door #3, or was that door #2???

It happend to us twice down in Belize...we were in our room and twice someone just walked on in, thinking that it was their room. We had to laugh when Mark came into our place laughing because he had just done that to a couple of women here! He walked in and it took that split second of time to realize that the two women there were not Kerry and Lisette....oops

Here Piggie Piggie Piggie

No pictures of the illusive piggies...but... This island just keeps on surprising us. We've heard that there are wild pigs and sure enough we've seen them this trip.

Our first pig sighting was coming down Waimea Canyon after the big hike. It was dark and our headlights caught a pig running across the road. Those little piggie legs were really moving, it was a small pig.

Last night on our way home from the noodle place in Lihue we were coming up to the intersection where you turn left to Kapaa or right to the airport. On the left, standing on the side of the road in front of the tall grass were three big pigs, brown and black in color. Amazingly enough there wasn't any traffic so I turned around and came back, they were still there! Toyke was on the phone with Chad so couldn't get a picture before they scurried off into the bushes.

Chickens, whales and now pigs! This is paradise!

These are for you...Rachel and Chad

and I'm sorry to say that there are more coming! The wacko couple at the Marriott Pool...

and at the salad bar at Dukes...

and at the Waikulealalalulukeepuu Falls...and as I said...more to come!

Mark's favorite trees - Norfolk Island Pine

At home these are houseplants (which most of us kill off) but here they grow to great heights. No matter how I tried I couldn't get the tops of the trees in the pictures. These trees are over by Kipu.

Blogging takes time...

No wonder why we didn't blog during the week...this takes time. At least I'm not getting bitten by mosquitos while I sit here. In Belize I had to try and cover up with my towel etc as I sat in the lobby. All we need here is a rainy day, which it is today, and we can do some blogging. We did go for an hours walk on the beach this morning and sent off the papers for selling the property in Rexburg so we have done something...just not alot.

Coconut leaf baskets...

When we were up at Kauilalalululekuee (not really) Falls we ran into a man making baskets. He was doing missionary work for his church and if he felt inspired he gave his baskets away for free. He charged us $10...

He told us to soak the baskets in salt water for 4-5 minutes, let them dry out and then soak them again. Do this 4 times and then treat the leaves with mineral oil and the basket will last for 100 years. It is microwave and oven safe....I didn't ask about the dishwasher.

Kerry and I are soaking the baskets as instructed, we'll see if they last 100 years.
