Sunday Early Edition

Yesterday, I was off in Haleiwa with My Friend Kyle(MFK) sitting in at an art fair.
We left here at around seven the morning and arrived at the fair grounds at around eight thirty.
The Haleiwa Art's Festival is nice for they provide the vendor tents, all you have to bring is your table and the goods.
It's a fairly large art fair:




I'd have to guess there were more than fifty folks out there showing and selling their stuff.

Let me tell you, the beach didn't look quite so idyllic.
I was telling MFK how this side of the island is so different from Honolulu and where we live.
It's still country, as they say here, not urbanized like the rest of the island.
I had a good time, looking around at all the art, but since we were there since the morning, I was pretty glad the when it was time to leave.
Still, I had to take one more look:
