Pigging Out at the Feral Pig

Pigging out at the Feral Pig is fast becoming a tradition... (see last year...)

Kauai-Cubano Sandwich

Japan is great for sushi and sake, but not so much for burgers and beer.

Having flown all night and arriving on Kauai at 3:30 PM - we were HUNGRY.  And thirsty.  Did I mention how good an IPA would taste?

The Feral Pig just so happens to be on the way from the airport to Poipu.  They make a mean burger - local beef, local veggies...  They also have Maui Brewing Company Big Swell IPA on tap...  Satiates both taste buds and thirst!  It hits the spot :-)

This fabulous Toy/Hobby/Train shop also happens to be right next to the Feral Pig.  And that, of course, makes the boys incredibly happy.  The burgers and beer makes US incredibly happy.

It is a Win-Win for everyone!

And The Rain Came Down...

It rained 8 inches night before last and yesterday.  8 inches!  We, of course, went to go see what that looked like!!!

It looked like the boats were on land - or mud, as it were

The stream is rushing out under the bridge (right side), the water is more red than the sand, but the Honu do not seem to mind; one is poking its head up just in front of the boat's stern and another is underwater, right next to the boat.

Red, Red, water...

Muddy waves wash ashore

The stream that runs through Koloa Town is about twice its normal size.  The water has receded about 8 inches by this time - check the waterline near the awesome graffiti

Chased a Northern Cardinal all over the Kauai Coffee Plantation - they seem to really love the coffee bushes!

Beautiful Pink Plumeria tree

Boys crossing the swinging bridge in Hanapepe to check out the rushing river.  Dougie turned tail and came back to me.

Then darted out across the bridge, chirping,  "I'm going to cross the bridge now".  I think Stefan on the other side was a motivator...

Ian crossed the bridge.  Mummy and Grammie stayed on the platform...

Passed this Buddhist Temple a couple of times thinking, "What a pretty house!"
