Hawaii - The Virtues of Canned Coconut Milk & Bring Back the Muumuu!! (02 JAN 2009)

Aloha,

yes, so two days after Willem - our 'Greater Dutch Grater' - departed, we're still grating and squeezing coconuts...Finally, Mama Ilima steps in with some local advice:

[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!]



Now that we suddenly had plenty of time, we decided to head down to Hotel Molokai for some Aloha Friday fun and hear the Kupuna (the Elders) play music. They were blowing bubbles too (but no in dakine Izzy way, you know...)...

Aloha Friday with Na Kupuna:



And then, a new 'Molokai Cause' was coined right there at Hula Shores together with our new friend Jean..have a look:
'Bring Back the Muumuu!!'



And, finally, some more Aloha Friday with Na Kupuna:



Alooohaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
