Some Hawaiian Market Shopping and Dinner at Huggo's

We wanted to find some souvenirs for friends and family back home, so we hit up some of the local outdoor markets to see what types of wares they offered the tourists.

We got to stay dry on shopping days, so I wore my Blackcraft Cult Poe tank.  

There were little green geckos running around everywhere at the market. One of the ladies had a jewelry booth and she told me that she'd send me gecko photos. She leaves her drink cans out at the end of the day and takes pictures of the geckos that comes to drink the leftovers. Photo taken by W. Greenfield.

This is my favorite photo she sent. He's just peeking over the edge of that can so adorably! Photo by W. Greenfield.

This is a picture I took. I love how the geckos aren't really afraid of people.

Another gecko picture I took. 

Dinner that evening was at a restaurant down the street called Huggo's. Every time we drove by it during the day, it was hustling and bustling and busy with people, so it seemed like a cool joint to spend a few hours.

The restaurant was all outdoors with umbrellas as the "roof" and a few awnings set up with grass hanging down. There was even a sandy area where the tables and chairs were outdoor patio furniture-style.

We all got alcoholic drinks. Mine was a traditional lava flow, while Mom got a lillikoi-flavored one.

There was a live band playing cover songs. People were dancing in the sand.

Grilled mahi mahi fish tacos with Hawaiian potato chips - my dinner.

Mom and I with our alcohol. No trip to the tropics is complete without an umbrella drink, am I right?

Up next - a horseback ride, botanical gardens, and ANOTHER car crash.

Until next time!
