Kauai June 2007

On the Hawaiian Garden Island, Alaya and Chiani taught me this song:

There's a place that I recall
It's not too big, in fact, it's kind of small
The people there, they got it all,
A simple life for me.

Hele on to Kauai, Hanalei by the bay,
The Wailua River valley is where I used to play,
The Canyons of Waimea standing all alone,
The magic of the Garden Isle
Is calling me back home...
