Aloha from Maui and Ha
waii! We just returned from
our outer island tour, five days
of intensive sightseeing that
took us through vast pineapple
and sugar cane plantations, or
chid nurseries, and active vol
canoes. We drove right into the fields
of. pineapple where groups of
Filipinos were threading their
way through the rows upon
rows, of plants. Our driver,
Henry, a most accommodating
and jolly Hawaiian guide,
broke off the ripest and larg
est pineapple near us. Then
late n the afternoon, tired and
thirsty, he stopped by a cool
stream and cut it into long
wedges on a little mat of dark
green ti leaves. Oh, how de
licious, juicy and sweet!
The climb up the mountain
to Haleakata Crater was most
spectacular. The drive is the
longest climb from sea level in
the world. From sea level to
10,000 feet, and every hairpin
turn bringing new vistas of the
plantations stretching down to
the palm-edged beaches and
blue, blue sea. The crater it
self is large enough to hold all
of New York City, so it was
quite breathtaking to look
down upon such a chasm, and
one so colorful.
It was here on the island of
Maui that we saw the largest
Banyan tree, a 300-foot spread!
This tree grows its own sup
ports. When it gets too large
or too heavy, it sends down
another root from its bran-;
ches, it ; becomes j large and)
strong,, so that every so -often j
under the tree a huge extra i
support is holding up the tree;
Mother Nature takes care of
everything.
We flew to Hilo to four the
island of Hawaii, a fabulous
combination of flowering trees
and flowers, and the results of
volcanic action. Here we met
Roger, another Hawaiian guide,
who knew everv tree and flow
er and every Hawaiian legend
and best of all. had a wonder
ful sense of humor.
We spent our second night
on Hawaii at tne volcano
House, perched on the rim of
Kilauea, the active volcano
which last erupted in 1952. It
raade us a little nervous to look
down into the huge pit and see
steam still rising .from a spot
here and a spot there.
On our drive to beautiful
Kona Inn, we stopped at the
famous black sands beach for
a picnic lunch. I'll wager we
are the only ones who had our
lunch sitting in the outrigger
canoes, under a thatched roof
shed, watching an island fish
erman cast nets out for fish.
Sounds real native, doesn't it?
But when one of 'our group,
Mr. Daniels, was setting his
movie camera for a shot of the
fisherman, the Hawaiian turned
around, and in perfect English
asked what shutter speed his
camera had, and said his own
camera took 64 frames a min
ute and that if Mr. Daniels was
slower, it would look like. slow
motion! It certainly made us
laugh at our own version of an
Hawaiian native jfisherman!
Anyway, it made a good pic
ture! I
I was going to explain that
the black sands are caused by
hot lava pouring into the sea
and exploding into . granules.
These are washed up and form
a beach. The black of the sand
doesn't come off on anything
and sort of crunches under
your feet We drove oyer
stretches of 4ava from prehis
toric times to 1950 which had
poured down to the sea. I
Our free day at Kona before
our return flight to Honolulu
was spent loafing, swimming
in the lovely pool and eating.
