Cindy's birthday dinner

After the beach we went back to our crib, where we were greeted by
Chubber McGee. That dog is SO damn cute. He really seems to like us
and followed us inside, keeping us company while we showered and
changed for dinner. Cindy plopped on the day bed and little Chubber
jumped right up next to her for some lovin'. Have I mentioned how cute
he is?

Then we headed over to this incredible restaurant, the Keei Cafe. This
was Cindy's birthday dinner and it was fantastic: seared ahi in some
fancy pants papaya sauce, with yummy vegetables. We followed this up
with two desserts, which is unusual for us because we usually split
dessert. We're glad we did because they were both delicious. We highly
recommend this place, which was actually quite reasonable (it is more
of a locals place).

Right now I'm sitting on our cozy little lanai, drinking a cup of Kona
coffee. The sun has once again blessed us with its presence. Soon
we'll head south around the island to Volcanoes National Park. It's
probably a two hour drive. Our plan after the park is to check out a
black sand beach, the one nude beach (unofficially, as nudity in
Hawaii is illegal) on the island. On Sunday there is supposedly a
little hippie fest with drumming, etc. while the sun sets. Sounds
right up our alley.

Well, that's it for now. The birthday girl is out of the shower, and
we need to head out!
