Getting shave ice at Jo Jo’s is always a highlight of visiting Kaua’i for me. I was anxious to have John and Susan try it, since they’d never had a proper shave ice. I’m happy to say that they loved it! Dallas, on the otherhand, could care less. Jo Jo’s is pretty much at the end of the long driveway of the house he grew up in, so it ain’t no thang to him. He didn’t get any. And he’s laughed a little too loud when we told him how some locals were mocking us. After we got our shave ice, Dallas had gone ahead to the car. John and Susan and I stopped outside the shave ice shack (really, it is a shack!) and were taking bites of each others and commenting on them, when from the side of us, inside a patio we heard these locals mocking us and saying over dramatically, “ohhhh, this one is the best ever! mmmmm, I like this one the best!!” Jerks! Don’t make fun of the haoles who only get shave ice once a year, if that!

I love Jo Jo’s, but Dallas told us there was a place called Matsumoto’s on the north shore of Oahu that’s even better. I couldn’t wait!! (More on Matsumoto’s later!)

  1. Good, I think the vacation was a good crash course of all different settings that made me learn a lot about the camera.. so that was good. I got the A95 out of my purse the other day and was taking some photos and it felt really strange.
