| last morning on kauai | flight home |
waking up to the sound of rain.
looks like there is a break in the clouds.
sunrise over the salt ponds
where there's rain... there's rainbows!
another accident on the main raod.. saw a lot of these in my short time on
the island.
Built nearly 1,000 years ago, the Alekoko Fishpond, has
been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973.
Ingenious ponds were built to catch fish, and this is one of the finest
examples of ancient Hawaiian aquaculture. The legend that surrounds the
fishpond is based on the mythical Menehune, Hawaii's mischievous little
people who performed legendary engineering feats. The Menehune lived in
the forest and hid from humans. According to Hawaiian legends, the
Menehune built this entire fishpond in one night. They managed this
amazing task by lining up from the village of Makaweli for 25 miles,
passing stones hand-to-hand to build the pond. Though Menehune legends
abound, some say the word may have derived from the Tahitian word manahune
meaning commoner, or small in social standing, not in physical size.
stopped at this park to find a geocache... unfortunately, I didn't find
it.
did find a pretty flower though.
and the rain starts coming down hard (again)
feels like christmas! NOT!
one last treat before heading to the airport.
