	This is the Wailua River. It leads to the Fern Grotto and a number of other sites. If we can work it out, next week we'll find some time to kayak on this river.
	Sara and Robynne hug a palm tree.
	This is a sacred spot to the Hawaiians, above the Wailua River. The stones were carried up to this hill and formed a temple site, where religious rites were performed until outlawed in the 1800's.
	This is Opaekaa Falls. Such falls are real impressive at first, then, if you take a helicopter trip over the island, you see just how many falls there are. They seem to be everywhere - still impressive, but very common.
	We are loading the kayaks onto the Wailua River. Several miles down river is the Fern Grotto.
	The Fern Grotto is a very popular wedding place. Sara and Robynne are posing here in front of the entrance. Just above their heads, in the background, is a wedding ceremony going on while we wait.
