Two things stand out for us today First, our visit to the coffee farm in Port Allen. Acres and acres of coffee plants ready to be harvested and shipped to different parts of the world. If you like coffee you would have loved the little samples that the farm has for the visitors. Dark roast, medium, light. Coconut, mocha, vanilla, Irish mint, hazelnut etc. With all the varieties it seemed more like a Baskin Robbins 31 flavors!
Our next stop was in Hanapepe a small town dubbed the "smallest biggest town" in Kauai. A quaint town with lots of small galleries and talented artist from around the world. One particular artist stood out today, his name is Bill Crane, a "PetrosArt" artist inspired by ancient Hawaii. A gentleman that creates beautiful pieces and sculptures inspired by the sea. As we entered his gallery he greeted us and started conversation, naturally the conversation went to our home state, then our home city, which was Los Angeles for him as well. Finally he told us he is an alumni of Eagle Rock High School! Small world huh? No wonder he seemed extra talented ;-)
We had a wonderful relaxing kind of day today with little adrenaline (other than the hanging bridge in Hanapepe) and lots of good memories. Tomorrow we head out to explore the island to admire God's creation in its most natural state. We look forward to a visually stimulating, hopefully dry day.
