At the golf course, we got to play by ourselves, and it wasn't very busy at all. The course was just alright to us. The greens were VERY slow and over grown. We both didn't play well, but had fun anyway... we were in Hawaii! And Dallas is always happy to be in the golf course.
After golf we decided to go further south on the island to try some snorkeling again. We ended up at Poipu Beach. There were quite a few people snorkeling here, so we gave it a shot. We saw quite a few fish, but no turtles! When we were leaving there was a large sea turtle that was sleeping on the beach. The lifeguards had it roped off so nobody would bother it.
After snorkeling we went to see the Spouting Horn, which was just down the road. We heard several people talking about it on the beach. This is an area in the lava rock that has several holes and caves where the water rushes in and out. With the ride tide the water shoots up through these holes and the air that gets stuck makes a groaning sound. It was pretty neat to watch. Each spray was completely different.

Red Crested Cardinal on the golf course. We saw quite a few of these around Kauai.

Some snorkelers we ran into that look just like us!
Sea turtle... not sure what kind this is, but it wasn't a Green Sea Turtle. Either way, the Hawaiian's call them Honu.
