Friday morning we went to the temple in Laie. It was beautiful.
The afternoon was dedicated to the Polynesian Cultural Center. What a fantastic place!
We visited the village of Aotearoa (New Zealand), enjoyed their presentation, especially the haka,
and Gil tried his hand at the poi balls.
We visited Fiji and found them to be a very fearsome culture.
(...disregard the puffy eyes...)
There was a lovely parade of canoes with a different island culture on each canoe. The colors and the dance were lovely.
Next, we visited Hawaii and Gil jumped right into the hula instruction.
We attended an evening luau for dinner. The food and entertainment were excellent.
I think my favorite presentation was Samoa. There was a coconut demonstration, one of the presenters scampered up a coconut tree, and there was a fire dancing demonstration. Awesome.
The evening concluded with the show "Ha: Breath of Life". It included traditional dance from all the islands and ended with a spectacular fire dancing show.
Another fantastic day.
