Fabulous men’s hula from 2010 Merrie Monarch Festival. It really gets going at the 3:00 mark. You have to love a man who can walk off the stage like that.
Jamaica Osorio is a Hawaiian poet. Here she is in 2009 at the White House. I met her father (Professor of Hawaiian Studies, musician & activist) at a reading festival on the Big Island this past weekend.
More men’s hula from the kane kahiko competition, Merrie Monarch 2012.
Men. Flirting. Hula. A good combination.
My favorite wahine (women) performance from this year’s Merrie Monarch. Exciting & complex. Watch the foot treadles!

Where I was today.
Only this photo was taken last year, same place. I forgot to take a photo today.
The ocean just has that color.

Here’s where I got a massage today: a back yard with a view.
