Gannon's - Wailea

Week # 2 is complete and some interesting experiences.

Today we went to a favourite hangout for breakfast, a restaurant now named Gannon's. For you dedicated followers, it used to be called the Seawatch. The views from this place are unbelievable. The weather was georgous, and it was very enjoyable. We went with two other Canadian volunteer couples, one from Saskatchewan and the other from British Columbia.

Thursday, I took two faculty members shopping, part of my courier duties. One of the faculty was from India, the other from Zimbabwe, and they were serious shoppers.

For those of you who think we are missing, the Olympics, worry not! The NBC network is carrying the Olympics and their coverage totals 835 hours, compared to their 2006 Olympics coverage of 419 hours. Needless to say, they are playing down the Canadian "Own the Podium" theme, or coversely using it to inspire their athletes.
