Waimanalo Fair

Much to report since the last post! The weekend just been was Waimanalos Sunset on the Beach- much like the regular monthly event in Waikiki but on a much more local scale. There was food, entertainment, more bouncy castles than you could shake a stick at, the local Harley club had some custom bikes on display, there were craft stalls, live music and an open air screening of a locally made film caled The Ride, which was all about Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, the 'father of surfing' and olympic swimmer (see www.sunburntinhawaii.blogspot.com for more in the way of info about him). (top left, Home Girls- Danielle, Devon and Me ready to go to the fair).



This is a poi dumpling. Poi is a traditional food here made from ground up taro root, usually served as a disgusting goop soup but is quite good when deep fried like this.Its purple, and has a very doughey, squishy texture and is sweet tasting. (stick of 3 for $1)


Boxing... these pics are of the middle weights, who just sortof slogged at each other. The feather weights were much more entertaining and exciting spar as they were really energetic










Some of the paint jobs on the beautiful bikes...
