Both sides of Hawaii reopening debated today.

I don’t have enough hand or eyeball sanitizer to click on a NYT link, but we have yet to receive any noticeable stink eye since returning to Kauai a few days ago. Of course, who can really tell where anyone is from when you are at Costco or Foodland? The employees at the couple of restaurant/bars we’ve visited were very happy to see us, or at least did a good job faking it (I don’t think they were).
Traffic is light. The beach on far north shore from Wainiha to Ha`ena state park is nearly empty, and the few people that are out are not wearing masks, including the life guard at the park. There is no actual reason to wear a mask with so much empty space and a decent trade wind, and it would be a sweaty miserable experience.
We are going to stay away from the Bistro, maybe for good, but at least through the end of the year. It’s a bummer to not see and catch up with some long-time friends and acquaintances that are regulars, but we will run into them elsewhere (it’s a small island), and we will respect the owner’s wishes/rules, even if we think he is misguided.
