The "eye candy" post earlier was from here. It's called "place of Refuge" for short and Pu'uhonua O Hunaunau for long. You don't come here for the beach. There's not much more than what little is seen in the picture. This is a beautiful view though. The history behind this place is interesting. It was said that if a person broke the law the penalty was death, but he could come here and a priest would absolve him of his wrong doing.
This is how and where Colt learned to snorkel. He's only in a foot of water and there aren't any fish there, but he learned.
There were lots of Ti'i all over the grounds. Some of these were huge.
You could walk freely around the grounds, huge palm trees. It was peaceful.
And then there's this guy in traditional garb. Yeah, that's butt cheek. What he's doing is nothing short of incredible. He's making a ceremonial cape or something. It's made of hundreds, if not thousands of little feathers. Each one is individually woven into a piece of netting and then tied. Very cool.
