HAWAII: LUAU

We had a great experience at the Paradise Cove Luau...and I promise it wasn't because of the all-you-can-drink Mai Tai's.
We got to play traditional Polynesian games before dinner. Steve was particularly good at the spear throwing...he hit a bull's eye on his first throw!
I participated in Polynesian Bowling, which consisted of throwing this wooden thing between two posts.

We learned how to shuck and peel a coconut, but don't try this at home.
Steve and me on the beach, awaiting our Hawaiian feast.
Before dinner is the "Hukilau on the Beach," the pulling of the fish nets to the rhythms of Hawaiian chants.

The pig is buried underground, under hot stones for six hours before being prepared - poor witto piggy.
Every vegetarian's nightmare.
The beautiful Hawaiian sunset.

Steve enjoys his Corona (are we in Mexico?).
The Paradise Cove dancers put on quite an entertaining show.
It takes talent to twirl a flaming torch without burning yourself!
