Andrea in Kaua‘i
Google Street View
Street View has finally made its way to our tiny island. Last year, I saw the Google car multiple times on the roads and highways of Kauai — along the Kuamoo Highway, by the Wailua Golf Course and parked at the Kauai Beach Resort.
It looks like the Google car covered most of the island, or at least that parts that are paved. It seems like Google didn’t opt to traverse dirt roadways or trails.
Google even uploaded a gallery titled “Scenic Hawaii,” which includes scenes of Waimea Canyon and Hanalei Bay.
Be prepared to spend countless hours exploring Kauai’s ocean views, lush countryside and gorgeous scenery from the comfort of your computer screen.

You know how everyone tells you to back up your hard drive because you just never know? Well, learn your lesson from me, and do it.
My hard drive crashed and I hadn’t backed it up since last year. I lost a whole bunch of amazing photos and videos, text documents and design files. Poop.
So, if you are reading this, take a moment, and back up your hard drive. When your two-year-old MacBook crashes unexpectedly, you will be glad you did.

Sunday, foodies descended on Smith’s Tropical Paradise for Taste of Hawaii. Dozens of chefs from around the state attended, giving out samples of their most delectable dishes. It was a fun event, with live music, yummy food and drinks in a beautiful setting. My favorite included the Feral Burger Sliders from the Feral Pig (Kauai ground beef, smoked pork shoulder, house pork belly, cheddar cheese and onions on a taro bun) and curried pork belly from the Eastside (roasted pork belly with a crispy finish and a steamed peking bun with sweet peppers). Onolicious!

Tonight is the First Saturday in Old Kapaa Town art walk! Check out this partial flyer of events (I can’t find the full flyer!): http://instagr.am/p/LXaAjWJ6HA/
I’m always stoked for the fire dancing at Alley Kat Art!

So, I’ve been a bit homesick the last couple of days. I think island fever is setting in (which happens when I don’t leave this rock for a few days within a six-month time period). The last time I left Kauai was when I boarded a plane to see my family in Oakland, Calif.
I took this photo, which is part of the Oakland Riviera mural (meant to be taken tongue-in-cheek, of course). As I’m making plans to spend my Friday night exploring Hanapepe Art Night, I’m getting a big dose of nostalgia for the Art Murmur.

I love Hawaii in May. While the days become longer, flowers burst into bloom and the trade winds carry its sweet blossom scent into my room. I also love all the beautiful and creative lei people make from natural materials, like these ones I snapped a few weekends ago.

Aloha from the Kauai Museum! These Menehune of Hawaii were used as a promotional tool for United Airlines. These two menehune (think Hawaiian leprechauns) are on display at the Kauai Museum as part of an exhibit highlighting the history of tourism on island.
