Hawaii - Day 6

Today we slept in as well as you can sleep in when there's a cacophonous serenade of tropical birds outside your window. Even though we are staying in a lovely residential neighborhood, it sounds like the jungle early in the morning.

Our first of activity of the day was eating at Giovanni's food truck up in Kuhuku on the North Shore. Giovanni's was featured in Man v. Food so it seemed like a good bet. We all ordered shrimp scampi and it was good but let me assure you that Giovanni believes in a lot of garlic in his shrimp scampi. A whole lot. We didn't think it was worth the hype of Man v. Food but it's always nice to try new things.


After lunch we went to the Poynesian Cultural Center to learn about, well, Polynesian cultures. Mac had a ball learning how to make fire by rubbing sticks, watching this guy climb a coconut tree, watching a show where this Samoan guy taught us how to open coconuts, etc. We also enjoyed a very delicious luau and their very cool night-time show that included fire dancers.
