Tuesday Sunset over Niihau from Waimea Ridge

We enjoyed the sunset from a mile up the Waimea Canyon ridge. There are two little islands off of Kaua'i that we could see in the distance. The largest one is Niihau. There's a sugar plantation there and about 200 Hawaiians who continue their native traditions, speaking Hawaiian as their first language. They make beautiful necklaces from the tiny seashells on their beaches. Children have to come to the mainland for school beyond the 8th grade.
