Spouting Horn, Southshore Kauai

Yesterday afternoon we took the short drive up to Spouting Horn. The view is fabulous from here. There are about 15 booths selling everything from tacky touristy items to jewelry, local hardwood items and masks. Tara bought a couple of Hawaiian style magnets, Kelly bought a ring and I bought nothing. I have on many previous visits purchased jewelry for myself and gifts and other cool things.

Wow! Am I famous now?

Just kidding. One of my photos that I have on Flickr got selected to be added to an online travel guide – Schmap Guides, Kauai. My photo is one of  several of Spouting Horn. Still it’s kind of cool that the editor of Schmap asked my permission to add my photo.
