This was my first sight of Kaua'i from the plane:
On the way to our accommodations there were quite a few nice scenic views.
After settling in, Lorene led us to one end of the Nā Pali coast in Polihale Park. The only way there is by an unmaintained dirt road full of potholes and mud puddles. Steve and Matthew had never done any sort of off roading before. Steve didn't do so bad driving considering it was his first time. After driving on the road for several minutes, Steve asks about the rules for taking a rental car off roading...it seems like maybe its a "don't ask, don't tell" kind of policy:
When we made it to the end of the road, we were at the beginning of the Nā Pali coast. Besides the 4 of us, there were maybe another dozen or so people within sight of us. All I could hear was the waves, the wind and us. I started snapping pictures from left to right:
On all other sides, the beach is surrounded by steep rocky mountains and cliffs
As the sun was setting, I became obsessed with the way that the light was reflecting off the water and waves, creating different textures and colors.
A few of my other favorite pictures from our first Kaua'i excursion:

| My Cuz and I! |
She was posing so that Steve could get her picture and I thought the play of the light and the wind blowing her hair were a perfect match for her smile!
