Day 9 was the Polynesian Culture Center at Laiae, up North Shore. It was a day of learning the different Polynesian Cultures, where we visited different areas for each one. There was Samoa, Fiji, Tahitian, Tonga, Aetorrean, and Hawaiian Islands. There was a canoe parade in which each culture floated by on a canoe in native dress doing native dances, etc. At 5:00 we attended a luau and at 7:00 there was the 'Ha: breath of life' show. We didn't get home till after 10 because it went from noon to 9:00 p.m. Today we are leaving early for the flea market and Dole Plantation. So I will have to post the pictures later. I have a bum knee which I have on ice right now which means I will be limping to the airport tomorrow afternoon. i just need to make it through todays' activities. Will need to see the doctor when I get back to Oregon. I either twisted it or caught it from Art. He has a knee problem that is worse at night, too. Today I will get some aleve or aspirin to see if it helps.
