Tonight my parents took us to Paradise Cove to enjoy a traditional Hawaiian luau. During a demonstration before our meal, the announcer asked people to raise their hands if they've never tried poi (a taro paste that's a traditional Hawaiian staple). Jeff's hand shot up and he was called to the front of the stage to try it. It was hilarious. The hula dancer told Jeff to put his pointer finger and middle finger together and dip his fingers in the poi mixture. The expression on his face after trying it was priceless. His face scrunched up. The dancer asked if he liked it. He shook his head: YUCK! It's definitely an acquired taste!
Jeff and I also took a canoe ride along the shores of Ko'Olina before dinner. It was beautiful. The luau as a whole was a spectacular experience with authentic hula dancing, music, Hawaiian games, lei making demonstrations...I highly recommend it.
I'll leave you with another snapshot of a Hawaiian sunset. We took a million pictures of sunsets we've had the pleasure of watching this past week and all are so beautiful, the camera can't do them justice.
