Driving west on the island, the scenery changes dramatically from sandy beach to mountain peaks. We made a pit stop in the historical village called Hanapepe, which literally means “crushed bay” in Hawaiian due to the landslides occurring over time. I had my mind set on buying a miniature bamboo rolling pin to match the one I got there three years ago. It’s something I could imagine using in Gail’s Kitchen back home. Mission accomplished. A quick walk about in this sleepy little town told us people come and go as frequently as businesses do, while the old-timers hang on remembering better days. Time passes slowly where locals revel in library cards and starving artists try to close a sale slashing prices for more wall space. Once a film location for “The Thornbirds”, now a destination for always.

Read The Thorn Birds and saw the movie in that order – but decades ago. I’m trying to remember . . . was it supposed to be Australia?
Virtual hugs,

I spent some time on your blog this morning, catching up and enjoying. I haven’t been to Hawaii since many years ago when my husband was in Viet Nam and we met there for R&R. It was a bittersweet week because we had to separate again when it ended, but I fell in love with the island. Your posts brought it back to me.
