Kona – Day 27

You will never find a $70 lei in the Falls Church Safeway.

However, you might find plastic ones. You never know.

The Twilight Zone

I can no longer multiprocess. You know, things like walking and chewing gum at the same time. This morning,  I empirically determined that I can no longer carry my breakfast and open a screen door at the same time. I used to be able to do that. 


I cherish my friendship with Barbara Nobriga. A woman, tough as nails but soft as silk. Years ago I took a picture of her, riding her horse in a Parade. (Kona loves parades.)

Barbara Nobriga – Grand Marshall of Parade. December 2012.

She is riding sidesaddle and barefoot as well. That is the traditional way. The pa’u rider way.

A few years ago, a lovely short film was produced about Auntie Barbara and her ohana. I think you might enjoy it at this friends and family time of year.
