		<description><![CDATA[I'm always intrigued by the variety of stickers you see plastered on signs around Kauai, a sort of local graffiti. They're usually surf-related, but sometimes it's hard to figure out what they mean. This one was self-explanatory, but very cleverly placed:

However you look at it, the effects are impressive. Wailapa Road just east of the [...]]]></description>
