Off to Waimea and the Cherry Blossom Festival. It was another beautiful day and Waimea was hopping. The festival is based around the large Japanese population. There were lots of activities, and live music and best of all, for Mary, craft tables everywhere! There were so many sellers that she was even overwhelmed....a first. We learned about Bonsai and origami....I sort of made a crane....
We did a stroll of the town and got to the Isaac Hale Museum. It is attached to the Hawaiian Preperatory School and is a hundred year old school building. The museum is filled with wooden artwork and other local art. The pieces range in price from the high hundreds to the high thousands. So one of the best parts of the visit was when Mary came up saying, "She is buying FOUR pieces!"... so when you see her picture she saying the word four....not the other 4 letter word, although she may have slipped that one in later when she was expressing her thought about this person being able to walk into a place and pick up 4 pieces of this quality and price.
Later we walked in to try to catch a sunset but we were late, so we had the beach pretty much to ourselves...just no sun.
Even later we made our way to the Kona airport to meet Jan and Ray and take them back to the place in Waikoloa Village.
