...but that does not deter us from celebrating Aloha Friday with everyone, per Friday tradition here. Besides Camilla's coiture pal, shall we call her 'Muumuu Jean', a good handful of new na kupuna friends, and a - by now - familiar trio, the Doran Ohana from Pennsylvania, who had a birthday to celebrate on this day as well as some sore butts (they, too, rode mules the day prior), and the fact that some of their numerous Post-A-Nuts had successfully reached Pennsylvania, seemingly at godspeed, and then their friend Morgan, of course, we just had to show up and partake in the festivities.
Here you see Yours Trulys along with the Sore-butted, Birthday-celebrating Doran Ohana:
And so here we are, once again, doin da kupuna thing....
[HELP: IF YOUR VIDEO STOPS INTERMITTENTLY AS YOU TRY TO PLAY IT:
For those without super fast internet connections (including us, at the moment) your videos will probably not play continuously without some advance buffering. It is easy to buffer, however, so all is not lost. Simply click 'play' to start it playing, then just click the pause button (II) on the lower left side of the video screen until you see it has buffered 1/4-1/1 past the right side of the dot (there is a red 'play' line to the left of the dot and a faded red 'buffer' line to the right of the dot). Once buffered, simply hit the red play (>) arrow in the lower left corner again and the video should play through without interruption. If it does not, it is most likely because you did not let it buffer long enough. Slow connections may require you to buffer the entire video before you begin to play it - fine so long as you know what to do!!?? Now you know. Enjoy the show!]
After na kupuna ended their sunset spiel, we proceeded to 'elsewhere' to hear Lono do more of his musical magic. You'll find his musical accompaniment on our Kalaupapa #1 and #4 videos as well as on the 'La'au #2: Keep Moloka'i Moloka'i' video. Here Camilla is waxing poetic about Lono's music. For more on Lono and to order his music online, here ya go:

And here, your Cool Camera Man enjoying Lono kine paniolo style:
And finally, tongue-in-cheek, let's just say that here in Hawaii, besides the Macadamia Nuts and Coconuts that we have already shown you, on occasion you may also encounter a whole other nut species here: the Eccentric Nut (we no crack dis, we just crack up):
Of course we do agree on ONE thing: Lono is totally awesome :)
Aloha,
Kepani and Kamila
