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.
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!

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.

Aloha Friday
It’s Aloha Friday and almost pau hana … time to take a break from work and listen to a little Jack Johnson. He’s going to be on Kauai for an April 19 concert with John Cruz and Paula Fuga. The show has already sold out (along with the rest of his tour), but those who don’t have tickets can look forward to the release of his live album “Jack Johnson and Friends — Best of Kokua Festival” in April.

Signs
This sign plastered with stickers can be found in Waimea Canyon. I don’t know what possessed me to snap a photograph of this before I turned my lens on the glorious canyon before me, but I did. I’m partial to the smiley face vampire sticker.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
In honor of St. Patrick, here’s a video by The Green. This song is about a dog. True Story.
