Na08...smoketown usa!

meal times at Na are somewhat of an adventure. all eateries within walking distance are swarming with 3,700+ hungry folks...at the exact same time. so the first couple of days we stood in long lines for quite awhile in order to get our food. things got really interesting on sunday when all restaurants were closed except for three! (...there's still 3,700+ hungry folks!) so...on sunday night we hatched a plan...which turned out to be a great idea.

nine of us jumped in jona's grandparent's van and drove about 7 minutes to a sweet little restaurant called "smoketown usa." john recommended it. there were a number of beautiful things about this place. first...it was empty! we had an uncrowded quiet place to be together, eat and chat (which is something we hadn't had since we've arrived). it was a relaxed, breezy and unhurried time. second, the owner and the employee took some time to introduce themselves to us and chat for a bit (see pics below). ...and we had a great time talking story with them. and third, the food was ono!! ...and very reasonably priced. john...you continue to pick the winners! mahalo!

here's a few pictures of our enjoyable evening at smoketown usa...
