Day Three

Polynesian Cultural Center

Woke up and went for a short walk. Our bus did not pick us up until 11:00, so we had time to go into the water, which we did.

We met the guy who showed us how to make a woven fish out of leaves, and to twirl poi balls. I did okay at the spear toss. We got on the bus with Cousin Leo, and went to the site.

We took a boat tour of the villages.

We saw the canoe pagent, which was amazing.
We visited a few villages and received amazing demonstrations of the island way of life.

Kayleen particpated in the Hula training, and also was in the Somoan Nut dance.

We ate an excellant Prime Rib dinner, although Kayleen tried one of the desserts that turned out to be discusting. We didn't find out what it was. She offered some to me, but I took a pass.

The night show - "Horizons" was truly amazing. The total energy and island emotion the dancers had was overwhelming.

We called this day three, and although it took some effort to get the video on the blog and to get it to work, we declared this to be a day full of wonderous sights, cultural perspecitves, and new understanding, and the day was pretty dog-gone good.
