Feb.20 and Feb 21 a trip to Waimea and a BrewHaus

February 20th is a Saturday


Even though one is retired I do notice that it may be important to pay attention to which day of the week it is. The main event today might be a morning market day. A chance for local food growers to sell their fruit, coffee and other bakery goods.
Like usual I do my early morning walk. This time in the uphill direction to where the tour boats are moored. Often I head to surfers' beach. Again a perfectly gorgeous day and I have time to go up to Keauhou Shopping Centre not far out of the way. There is a Saturday market so I take a pictue or two but do not make any purchases. The others are sure to follow later and buy the Hawaiian fruit that we wish to indulge in.
Sounds like a pretty boring day but thus is paradise. Reading on the lanai and cross-word puzzles is about the sum of it. We actually do go to the pool and have another fantastic dinner but A. and I needed a rest day after Friday's climbing Mauna Kea. She got all the way to the top of the highest mountain in the pacific.
Adrienne and Jean made the special fish with macadamia nuts-panko covered recipe again today. Yes, there are many ingredients such as butter, lime juice, coriander and so on and finally the fish is served on a bed of sweet mango tomato salsa with rice as a side.
Good dinner.
Ooops, this photo is from Feb.19th


February 21 is a Sunday.......Going to Waimea and a BrewHaus

Finally some self portraits. No selfie sticks were used.

The Fab Four went on a day long tour on towards the North-East part of Hawaii. We circled around an area called Kohala. Mainly because the oldest mountain Kohala is easily accessed such that we can drive along the ridges it provides. Very stunning views from on top of these Kohala Mountain ridges because we can see at least 3 Hawaii mountains in the distance. And the Pacific coast down below.
The lunch at Big Island BrewHaus seems to be to everyone's satisfaction. A lot of the dishes are in the Tex-Mex or Mexican style. Adrienne has a quesadilla and I have a fresh fish special. The large Taco shell is sitting on a small bed of rice and the hill of Tex-Mex ingredients including guacamole, mayo, tomato, fish and so on. It is quite a creative invention. I like to trust the chef or the different chefs when they have a special. For quaffing, I have the sampler of 5 of their ales. Adrienne has the Red Giant ale which has the right kind of bitter and hoppiness she likes.
