Kauai Day 2

Oh it felt good to get a good nights sleep! I still could have used another hour or so, but such is life. We had to leave up early to meet up with the band, since we are staying on the opposite end of the island. After we met up, we went to Waimea Canyon, aka "The Grand Canyon of the Pacific". I should say we got lost for a little bit because we missed the turnoff to the canyon. As we were lost, I saw more whales in the water from our car. This is just whale week on the Devin Channel! Bro Lau, the driver and film director, was rather upset that we may miss something, and once we found the road, we were soon speeding up the canyon. It is a VERY windy road, and I was basically holding on for life. We finally convinced him to slow down a bit. We didn't even miss anything!

We drove clear to the top of the canyon, where we were supposed to see some really cool lookout onto the ocean over steep cliffs. But this also happens to be the wettest place on earth (36 ft of rain annually), and it was clouded over. So we instead went to look out over the canyon . We were able to see the island of Ni'ihau. The canyon is quite spectacular. There was a very large waterfall running down one part of the canyon that was incredible.
Here's me and Jeremiah. Gotta get a family photo while you have the opportunity! Better email this to Grandma!

We had lunch at a neat little park with heaps of chickens all over the place. Then we headed down to get ready for the last concert. We had dinner at a chapel, a potluck provided by the members. We have been taken care of by members! Tonights concert went well. The bands sounded really good and we got good video and our sound guy got a great recording. Here I am preparing for shooting some great footage. I am excited for another great day tomorrow!
