I’m on my first-ever two week vacation, on Kauai, so no words of wisdom this week. Instead, how about some pictures? There are some beautiful sights here…  I’m from Appalachia, and this place looks like home.

Chickens and all.The locals are, um, friendly. (It’s okay, I like cardinals.)

You can see your feet in waist-deep water.

There are slightly fewer feral cats than there are chickens. (Why are there feral cats and not feral chickens?) Should I even mention the feral Jeeps?

The landscape is exotic.

Even when it rains in the morning.

And they grow crops in pools of water. Who does that?

But the most beautiful sight on the island arrived with me.

I’ll be back next week with (probably) another sorry excuse for a blog.

Aloha!
