Wednesday, November 20, 2013

The obligatory Hula lesson!  The guy with the microphone is one of the Smith Family, who were everywhere!  It really is a family business.  This guy was the narrator, introducer, singer, hula helper, and he poured coffee on the side… (Nikon P7100, mostly in super dooper night mode) Tiki Torches!
