Polynesian Cultural Center... Finally!!
Me and Erin on a canoe ride
(I'll post the video of New Zealand soon. They were my favorite)
Poi ball twirling... I need some more practice :)
Climbing the coconut tree
Everyone thought he was going to jump
to another tree... He's good, but really!
(I really like this picture)
Samoa: this guy was AWESOME! He was so funny!
Making Fire
Blowing on dry coconut husk to get flames
FIRE... then he stomped it out with his foot. CRAZY
He seriously punctured that coconut.
Husking the coconut
About to crack it open with a little rock...
He was explaining what he was doing and he would go through
a the words using a bunch of different languages. It was cool.
it was amazing! split right open
getting the meat out of the coconut so he could
make milk.
MILK... Pretty amazing. Very hard work

So Hawaiian we know. I never went there on the mainland.
But with so few choices you do what you gotta do!

We went and watched "Legacy" at the visitors
center one Sunday afternoon. What a great activity!

My Life in Hawaii
My Roommates!
Rachel and Me... Late at night... don't judge (I know I'm a white girl-need more sun)
Mr. Gecko (Love Him, because he eats cockroaches! But he sometimes scares me as he crawls around the walls. He is super fast though)
My House!!
So I dont have a picture of my room. Its tiny and looked even smaller in a photo. but lets be honest its not clean so I dont want to show you. haha.. but its all good. One day I'll get to it.
Kitchen... where we find the most cockroaches. And they are HUGE!
This is my friend Brittney. We were on our way to a BBQ
This is my office. Not super amazing, but at least I have it to myself. Does it matter that it was the supply room before I came?? At least it wasn't a closet :)
Oh What A Night...
at the PCC!!!!
Me and Erin waiting for the show to start.
Gotta love fire dancing!
so these are fire knives... yes that is correct... they are throwing around knives that are on fire. Do you think that is safe... I think not!!! But it is hot... haha.. (I'm tired, but I thought that was funny)
