The lights of New Year's Eve...
Forgot to say Happy New Year to everyone so I'm saying it now!
New Year's celebrations are bigger in Hawaii than Independence Day celebrations. The entire island was covered in a smoky fog and I was stopped at security while checking in to fly to Maui the next day because they detected TNT on my medic kit. Strange! But they let it pass because we had been in the middle of a huge block party surrounded by 1000's of large fireworks.
This particular display in the picture had over 100 fountain fireworks and was lit by my pyromaniac son, Mike, with a blow torch. Actually all of my kids were quite excited about the fireworks as they are not allowed on the 4th of July in NM because of the dry conditons we always have during that time of year.
We also were with a traditional Native Hawaiian family and although some of the food dishes were a little different, most were quite delicious. The best was the homemade Chicken soup made from the saved carcasses from Christmas. It was served as the first dish of the New Year and particularly good with a shot of Hawaiian Chili Pepper water. Just one of many wonderful times we had in Hawaii. More later, Kitty
