I'm talking about roosters, you sickos. Seriously. These buggers are EVERYWHERE. At first we thought it was funny to hear them cockle-doodle-doing in the morning but then you realize they don't stop doing it. Ever. They run around wild. I asked our bike guide what the deal was and his explanation was that after the big hurricane in '92, all these farms were destroyed and a lot of the animals got out and ran wild. I guess it's easier to catch a horse than a rooster so they were left to live off the land and judging by their enormous population, have a lox of chicken sex. Is this true? I have no idea. The guy told lots of tall tales but this actually seems plausible. Either way, something freaky happened. The funny part is that they look exactly like what you think they look like if you don't have the occasion to see them all the time and I had no idea how beautiful they were. Beautiful and deeply annoying. It looks fake, no?
Before moving on to Tales From the Big Island, I thought I'd throw in a few random pictures from the rest of our Kauai stay. Here's me at Wiamea Canyon. This was immediately after the catamaran trip. Notice the hat.
While we were at the canyon, Laura and I decided to re-enact a scene from Lost. In case you couldn't tell, we are pointing at something with great urgency. What this has to do with Lost I don't know.
(Speaking of Lost, I was at Trader Joe's today they have those witty little tags that show the food name and why you will like and stuff and I was looking at the sauces and on the tag for the "Island Soyaki" sauce, there was a drawing of John Locke and it said "John Locke says the island wants you to eat this sauce" so I bought it. )
Anyway, this is the trail that Jeff and Jeff hiked up while we hung at the beach. Yikes. And this was the easy part.
That's about it from Kauai. Stay tuned for Tales From the Big Island.

Not only is Joe a trader, but he's a comedian, too.
