Actually the other big voyaging canoe from Hawaii, the Hikianalia, will be doing a tour down the West Coast as Hokule'a heads for Panama, and the idea is that they'll meet at the lake in the middle. <br /><br />The lei idea just hit me - it was so funny, I was having this event and it's traditional in Hawaii that if you have a guest of honor, they get a nice lei. We had a small event at the club in the wintertime and I'd given some shell leis that I'd had from trips back to O'ahu, but those were all I'd had. I kind of had it in my head that I couldn't make leis because I didn't have the right kind of flowers - but a couple of days before the even it very abruptly dawned on me that one of the things that make the right flowers the right flowers is that they are the flowers that you can get. The next time I passed a flower stand I stopped and looked over their stock with an eye to things that came with enough flowers of a stringable shape to make a lei, and the hyacinths sort of jumped out at me as a possibility. They worked very nicely and yes, they smelled lovely, which is always valued in a lei! <br />bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-39252553006065244882016-06-01T14:05:49.280-04:002016-06-01T14:05:49.280-04:00Great news! wish I was there.
