Thursday, July 23rd - MONSOON!

Wow...then the rains came...we woke up to the sound of rain on Thursday morning and when I say rain, I mean MONSOON. The type that you experience in a shower....we were soaked by the time we got to our car...which was only 15 feet from our condo.
The rains were awesome...but then the flash floods were not. We went to Hanalei for coffee and minutes after we left to go back to higher land they closed the bridge because the river flooded. (The river outside the Hanalei Dolphin from Tuesday night).

We managed to get out for a bit and take some pictures...when there was a pause in the rain...but it rained for about 16 hours straight!
Hang loose...
The waterfalls down the mountain side were amazing...and gone days later when the rains subsided!
This is the little gecko that was smushed in our condo...Rich thinks I stepped on him.
We gave him a proper burial at sea and flushed him...
Since the rains weren't stopping...we decided to roll the "honeymoon" dice and see what they came up with.

Too funny! Of all the things they could have said...of course, we got eat!
So we made Homemade Pina Colada's....
...and Rich "cheffed" it up!
Delicious Ahi...
...and our fancy dinner on our patio!
It was great to have a day of relaxation!

Still more to come....
