Learning about Hawaii

Fish had an interesting visit with a Lahaina carver and was able to take some fantastic photos of the traditional tiki craft. Amazing!


On another note, the girls were surprised to find that there were 3 or 4 free classes at our resort by John, a fellow who was 'practicing his kids classes for the PGA families who were flying in the next week." We were glad to oblige. He gave some wonderful classes on 1) how to husk, then open a coconut 2) How to decorate a coconut with stickers 3) how to weave headbands out of palm fronds 4) How to be generally silly, yet respectful about the spirit of Aloha- the giving spirit of openness about culture that most Hawaiians seem to have.
