Hawaii - 17th Dec
We drove back through the pineapple fields. These two pictures are of an actual Dole pineapple crop.
We went back to the beach looking for a high surf. We didn't find large waves, however they were warning of a sever undertow and rip tides.
Hawaii - 16th Dec
Hawaiian Soil
We were told by the landlord that the red soil marked the flooring. We were asked to take them off and leave them outside. The soil is volcanic and is much like our PEI soil.
Today we went to the Dole Plantation. We had fresh pineapple and Alan had fresh pineapple ice cream. They had a large garden with a large selection of pineapple plants. Some were old varieties no longer used in large plantings and some were the modern day pineapples. Pineapple Production
We drove to the beach where they had Big Wave surfing earlier in the week. Apparently they don't get these waves every year.

The Hawaiian quilt is quite unique. The quilt is traditionally white in the background and the appliqué is a solid colour. They take on many Polynesia
an themes, which include the pineapple, turtle and hibiscus flower.

entre. That was a cultural centre that includes the different Polynesian Islands. We had a great day, dinner and finally show. I would recommend this spot to visit.
