The above picture was taken some days ago, and I like the rippling water surrounding this lovely swan.
The fifth day of being ill on my Hawaiian vacation is coming to a close, but I am at last feeling better, and tomorrow I expect to resume being a tourist--it has been rainy here in Kauai almost all days, but Thursday and Friday were the heaviest, with local flooding, including one woman swept away by a swollen stream just about ten miles from where I am staying.
The rainy weather is not unusual, and it has remained warm throughout--so the stay has still been enjoyable, except for being ill. Liz and Helen stopped at a couple open houises, one a condo ($570K) and another a detached house ($780K). The prices are lower than two years ago, so perhaps the recession is still hurting Hawaii. We also noticed that several restaurants in Waikiki were closed/shut down, including one in a nice hotel. Perhaps that is just a common feature there anytime, but it seemed like more than one would normally find while out strolling for a dinner location.
