2007 March 9---a rainy day in Kauai:

Today was a rainy day all over the island.  So we pretty much hunkered down and stuck around the Kauai Beach Resort area.  

 even the Nene ducks hunkered down here at the resort.

 Looking across the lagoon towards the hotel which shares the grounds.

 Love how they trim the bushes

 I do love listening to and watching the ocean here. 

 a little bit of blue skies now and then

 a different kind of Hawaii paradise picture, but still pretty impressive.

 Getting near sunset.

 we're also pretty close to the airport here.  Convenient for travel days!

 although this is facing East, we still get some pretty nice sunset skies here as the clouds to the East also change colors. 

 Great Blue Heron?

 Ken on our patio in building F---oceanview.

 We did venture out about just after sunset.  Went to Wailua marina for dinner.  Parked by the restaurant are these boats that take people up to the Fern Grotto.  We went there once and I rather enjoyed it, but the ferns were pretty well depleted from recent storms.  Wonder if they've grown back?

 And the restaurant we went to---Wailua Marina restaurant.  We use to really like this place.  But it seems to have gone down hill.  Service wasn't that great anymore.  There weren't even many people there!  (By 2017 it had closed permanently.  Too bad they couldn't get it back to what it was.  It's in a really neat location).

 NOt the typical Kauai vacation day that one would think of.  I'd rather it not rain all day.  But it still beats the cold and snow back home.
