Simone also picked up a few necklaces, I&rsquo;m sure she will post all about them later.<\/p>\n<p> \tSince it was our first full day on the Island we did some shopping and a lot of relaxing.<\/p>\n<p> \tI took some late afternoon shots that I hope you will enjoy.<\/p>\n<p> \t<a href=\"http:\/\/eric.washburn.name\/Blog\/files\/media\/image\/Windows-Live-Writer\/Happy-New-Year-from-Kalui-Kona_A91C\/WP_000013_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"WP_000013\" border=\"0\" height=\"184\" src=\"http:\/\/eric.washburn.name\/Blog\/files\/media\/image\/Windows-Live-Writer\/Happy-New-Year-from-Kalui-Kona_A91C\/WP_000013_thumb.jpg\" style=\"background-image: none;
