Kahanu Garden Ho'okupu


I realize in looking at my pix from last weekend's Taro Festival that I hardly got any shots at all on Saturday of the festival itself, except for the traditional poi pounding demonstration that I posted earlier. I was too busy talking story with folks.

But I did get some shots on Sunday of the two excursions.

First, Kahanu Garden where the group included Ka Lei Maile Ali'i Hawaiian Civic Club (who had performed "The Queen's Women" play Friday evening).

The front portion of Piilani Hale heiau. Over 3 football fields in size, probably the largest heiau in the Pacific.



Continued with more photos...

Kumu Francis Palani Sinenci, master hale builder, shares stories about the restoration of the heiau in 1999, which was scheduled to take three years but which they completed in eleven and a half months.



Another section of the heiau behind. Approaching to offer ho'okupu.



Blowing the pu 'ohe.



Passing ho'okupu. (Great to see Lynette and James there.)



Ho'okupu.



This is just a cool hau tunnel that you walk through to start and end the tour.



(Next I'll post some shots from Kapahu Farm Sunday afternoon.)
