LYDGATE & SNORKELING/KILAUEA lIGHTHOUSE & WILDLIFE REFUGE/TARO FIELDS & FARMERS MARKET
LYDGATE PARK & BEACH
This little cove was man made, the boulders were put in place to break the waves and leave a quiet and easy place to snorkel. There were two sections, one section was smaller for the little folks. The fish were very colorful and fun to follow. We decided this was our favorite place to snorkel

The boulders breaking the waves


We came to Lydgate often while in Kauai, there were two reasons why we liked Lydgate. The first of course was the snorkeling, the second reason is because we loved seeing our little "Chicken Man." You could here the puttering of his bike as he came up the street, the chickens noticed also as they ran after the bike knowing that he is going to throw out food for them, the scene was very comical to watch.
KILAUEA LIGHTHOUSE & WILDLIFE REFUGEMy senior park pass finally came in handy, we got in free. I guess it doesn't hurt to be old sometimes.



There were hundreds of these Red-footed Boobies nesting on the hillside.


They were in the process of refurbishing the lighthouse

We saw three turtles out by this huge rock, two older turtles and a baby.
Kauai's north shore is where the majority of the state's taro is grown. This field, in Hana lei valley, was planted with rice to look like Vietnam in the movie "Uncommon Valor."

On the way back to the hotel we drove through some beautiful green valley's and mountain sides.
WE ARE STARTING TO BECOME A LITTLE MORE FAMILIAR WITH THE ISLAND AND LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT
