Thursday, January 27, 2005
Some of the beaches required a little work to reach them, like this steep path to Hideaway beach. (right) Wailua Falls one of many waterfalls on the island.
A Hawaiian Monk Seal snoozes on Secret Beach. (right) I did, I did see a chicken!
A pretty picture taken near Hanalei Bay.
Ooh, isn’t it romantic. Hideaway Beach was well worth hike.

- The Monk Seal is an endangered species.
- They don’t have a natural fear of humans, that’s why they’re endangered.
- There are only 20-30 Monk Seals who call Kaua’i waters home.
- Waking up this little guy can cost you big – as high as $25,000. Strict laws prohibit the harassment of marine wildlife.
