Let's learn to hula dance at the Polynesian Cultural Center!

ALOHA! Today was AMAZING! First, we went to the only palace in the United States, and we learned about the Queen, the King and their stories. We loved it because it was a nice opportunity to know more about the Hawaiian history. After that, we went to the Dole Plantation and we had such a fun time taking pictures at the photo booth and buying different kinds of souvenirs. We even found out what our Hawaiian names are! And we had chance to try fruits like coconut, mango, apple banana and the amazing pineapple ice cream. We headed to a little town to have lunch and then we stopped by North Shore, the most beautiful beach we have ever seen! Now, we definitely need to buy a new memory card for our cameras after all the pictures we took.. LOL And finally, we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center and I have to say that was a wonderful experience.. It was a way more fun than we thought it would be! Everything about that culture is interesting.. Food, dance, language and people. We watched a lot of shows that we're funny and we will never forget! A day to remember for the rest of our life.. We LOVE Hawaii!
