Tuesday night - shave ice and cemetery hikes

The surf lesson was the big event of the day, so we had a more leisurely afternoon. After lunch, we headed up to Hanapepe for the weirdest approach to a hike I've seen. First you drive by the giant oil storage units until you get to a dirt road, then you park by an old dump to "Glass Beach" - yep - glass from the old dump... but you're not supposed to collect this. On one side of the road is the beach and on the other side an old and not cared for Chinese cemetery. The Filipino part of the cemtery is a little better, but not Forest Lawn for sure. We liked the ripe cherry tomatoes growing in the weeds on the side of the cemetery. It appears that people still visit the cemetery, but cleaning it up would make a great service learning project. (No photos. Camera is recharging.)
Past the cemetery, you walk along the cliff edge (and a few old tires and engine parts) for an amazing rocky coast view. Back to the car and...hm.. only 10 miles up the road is JoJo's, the great shave ice stand, so we went back for a second shot. This time I had blue vanilla (our condo owner's favorite) and John had root beer. So cold it makes your tongue hurt... and YUMM. Might have to try the kind w/ the ice cream on the bottom tomorrow.
Then... back to the condo, a little reading time and a walk over to the shopping center and the 5 p.m. Tahitian/Hawaiian dancing "show". We're guessing the three dancers were probably high school age. They performed solos and together, both tahitian and hawaiian. They didn't use the word hula and the narrator seemed a little inexperienced and unsure, but whatever it was called, I'm sure it takes some amazing lower back, core and calf strength.
It was fun watching the little kids in the crowd - they were fascinated -- and then about 8-10 (and 2 brave moms) got up on stage for the lesson. One little 4-year-old came equipped with her hula skirt, bikini top and lei. She was prepared.
We'll get things ready tonight for our "gulp" zipline adventure tomorrow. Then Thursday is a kayak the Wailua river to a waterfall adventure. Hmm. Maybe Hawaiian Air will bump us and we'll be forced to stay another night - somewhere...Our condo owners arrive the day we leave. We've been communicating with them by e-mail. (hence the tip to try the blue vanilla.)
We're fitting lots of activity into a short amount of time, but there will be plenty left for another visit.
Hottest it got today was 87 for our afternoon hike and that was at Point Allen in heat of afternoon. Coolest was 67 and that was about the same time but 15 miles away. We even had a tiny sprinkle this morning, but nothing that required raingear.
that's all the fun for today!
