Our Hawaiian Celebrity Sighting

During our recent trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, we spent an afternoon and evening touring Volcano National Park.

We got hungry though, and looking for snacks, we left the park behind and headed into the nearest town, which is named (appropriately enough) "Volcano."

There, in the aisles of the itty bitty grocery store, while scrounging for potato chips and chocolate, we had a celebrity sighting.

Hubby spied Jason Scott Lee, who played the role of Bruce Lee in the movie Dragon. He also starred in real-life adaption of The Jungle Book and was the voice of "David" in the cartoon, Lilo and Stitch.

He overheard us talking about him and smiled our way. Then he graciously agreed to a photo op and I snapped this picture.

We didn't bombard him with questions, but did learn that he lives nearby. After a little bit of googling once home, I found a fairly recent (2005) profile of him in the Honolulu paper.

You can go here to read it -- and to coax you into doing so, I'll drop this tidbit: His home lacks a toilet.
