First of the Honeymoon Pictures

We've been back in LA for just a week and a half now, and we've finally dug ourself out of unpacking enough to get the first batch of honeymoon pictures online.

Kauai: Kalalau Trail These first shots are from an eight mile hike we did our second day in Kauai. It took us down the edge of the Na Pali Coast and back to an amazing waterfall. It was definitely rigorous, though, particularly with all the mud on the trail. We underestimated how much fluid we'd lose via sweat in the super-humid heat and finished the hike wishing we'd brought far more to eat and drink.

Kauai: Secret Beach and Lava Pools The next day we went several places. These shots are from a place called Secret Beach and its accompanying lava pools (not pools of lava... pools in lava rocks). The beach is enormous and some decent snorkeling could be found out in the waters near shore.

Kauai: Hanalei Lookout The same day we stopped at the Hanalei Lookout and then made our way to Pu'u Poa Beach. Particularly fascinating in this set is a sailboat stuck on the rocks in Hanalei Bay. Those rocks can be very shallow depending on the tide, as we found while out snorkelling. The tide started going out and all of a sudden rocks we had been several feet over were right up at our level. We were very glad to find it was rock and not live coral.

Combined these sets make up around 110 of the 700 or so pictures we took. Not all are worth putting online, but there will be lots more coming in a few days.
