Can you believe this bouquet?

After spending the morning at the beach yesterday, we decided to take a short drive to Haiku. It’s a hillside town filled with winding tree-lined roads. Just the drive there was worth it – we couldn’t believe how lush and green it was. It’s just on the edge of what is called ‘Up-Country’ (much more on that later . . .) Haiku has earned the reputation as a center for wellness and spiritual healing and there is a studio catering to everything from yoga to acupuncture. The brochure says – if you get a little lost (which we did) it’s all part of the fun . . . just follow the road that goes down and you’ll eventually find the ocean and Hana Highway! We took a look in the only grocery store and there were these beautiful protea bouquets. When I saw the price I was flabbergasted! $5.99 – unreal!
