Yesterday, we had the great fortune to visit a lovely property up north where dozens of turtles and tortoises range freely. Our hosts were feeding the tortoises a variety of flowers and fruits. Lots of happy animals.

Among other things, I learned that tortoises like having their shells scratched. Who knew?
Prior to visiting the tortoises, we enjoyed a surprise hula performance at the restaurant where we ate lunch. We are definitely not in Kansas.
Aloha!
