Picking up where we left off . . . Thursday we spent a full day at the Polynesian Cultural Center at BYU Hawaii in La’ie where we saw cool presentations and dancing at the little "villages" they have set up representing each of the major south pacific island nations. It's like you just traveled from one country to the next as you walk from one village to the next. It was really fun seeing everything from guys climbing coconut trees like monkeys with nothing but a lava-lava and a little rope for their feet to fetch coconuts, to fire dancing (both of which were Samoan), but all the other village presentations were unique and interesting as well.
These were some of the other highlights on O’ahu: a hike out to Ka’ena Point, the western most point of the island, where we saw a couple of endangered Hawaiian monk seals and several albatross nesting; the filming location of Lost, the TV show (we don’t watch the show so this was more exciting for my sister Megan than it was for us); and driving the H-3 highway between Kane’ohe and Honolulu (it is “arguably one of the most beautiful stretches of highway in the U.S,” being very green and lush with towering mountains.
