Tuesday!

Nick and I are still on Washington time.  We tend to wake up pretty early, which actually isn't a bad thing!  We got up, made a smoothie (yum!) and headed to Kapa'a. 
We stopped at the Kilauea lighthouse, but it cost to get in so we didn't go up to it, but it was really beautiful!


After we made that short pit stop at the lighthouse, we went to check out Anini beach.  It was really beautiful!  We didn't swim, but  we walked around and sat for a bit and watched a few surfers and a cool kayaker.  It was really nice and relaxing :)




 Then, we went to Bubba's Burgers.  It is apparently Robert Downey Jr's favorite place to eat in Kauai... okay.  It was pretty good for a burger place.  Not the best burger in the world, but you can't beat the location.  :)

After getting fueled up from some good burgers, we walked around Kapa'a.  A very cool town!  There are a lot of shops and even more art galleries.  Have I mentioned that there are a TON of art galleries?  A lot of them are really cool.  Anyways, Nick got a cool t-shirt and I got a new dress.  Success :)

We then heard from some guy in the hot tub last night about this "secret-locals-only-know-about-it-beach".  We decided to go find it and we found it pretty easily.  It is about a 1/4 mile hike down a hill and it's a BEAUTIFUL beach!  Oh my goodness!  There weren't that many people, but it was very amazing.  Check it out for yourself :)

 There are some really awesome sea rocks.  Nick and I got a video of the waves crashing up on some of them.  It is really surreal.
Isn't it great?!  Nick and I have decided that we are going back to sit on the rocks and watch the sunset :)  It'll be beautiful and awesome!

Alright, almost done.  Nick and I didn't mention this, but past all of the condo complexes there is a little grass area that overlooks the ocean.  There are chairs and some really awesome BBQ's that are right next to the cliffs.  Nick and I decided to BBQ our dinner.  It was amazing!

We ate and watched the sunset :)  Then we did our normal nighttime thing, which involves handing out in the pool/hot tub.  Kauai is an amazing island.  Tomorrow will be even better :)
