Poipu Beach

It was raining heavily with thunderstorms the whole night. We sleep with the windows open so I woke up shortly a few times.

In the morning it was still a grey sky, rain hanging in the air. We decided to go to Lihue for some shopping. Chie found some purses and I finally find the Sanuk shoes sandals I have been looking for.

We also had time to stop at Wal-Mart to buy some chocolate for our offices. And some coffee for our friends.

Once our shopping was done we returned to beach life. This time at the Poipu Beach. We had lunch at the Marriot pool side before spending the rest of the day either in the sand or in the ocean.

We stayed at the beach until 5:30 pm exhausted. It is hard work reading books in the hot sand 😉 And we also did a lot of swimming.

At home we prepared dinner. Tonight it was mustard cream sauce chicken, and salad. Yummy!

Tohoku Donation

Though we are on vacation our friends in Japan are not. Ichihara-san and her friends drove all the food and water we and many others have helped collect to the Tohoku area. You can find pictures and descriptions here (Japanese only).

I have also added a Tohoku Donation page where you can donate money for food and water that will go to the Tohoku area. The idea is that you should be able to follow your money from your pocket to exactly what they were used for and when.
