IT VOIR FAVORITE fMIST'Rf
"Made by the Bakers of
Master Bread"
Aloha from Maul and Ha
waii! Wc 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 in 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 Halenkala 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 wc saw the largest
Banyan tree, a 300-foot spread!
This tree grows its own sup
ports. When it eots too large
or too heavy, it sends down
another root from its bran
ches, it becomes large and
strong, so that every so often
under the tree a huge extra
support is holding up the tree.
Mother Nature takes care of
everything. i
We flew to Hilo to tour the i
island of Hawaii, a fabulous
combination of flowering trees
and flowers, and the results of
volcanic action. Here wc met
Roger, another Hawaiian guide,
who knew cverv tree and flow
er and every Hawaiian legend
and best of all, had a wonder
ful sense of humor,
Wc spent our second night
on Hawaii at the Volcano
House, perched on the rim of
Kilanca, the active volcano
which last erupted in 1952. It
made us a little nervous to look
down into the huge pit and sec
steam still rising from a spot
here and a spot there.
On our drive to beautiful
Kona Inn, wc stopped at the
famous black sands beach for
a picnic lunch. I'll wager wc
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 sotting his
movie camera for a shot of the
fisherman, the Hawaiian turned
around, and in perfect F.nglish
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 fisherman!
Anyway, it made a good pic
ture! I was going to explain that
the black sands are causrd by
hot lava pouring into the sea
and exploding into granules.
Thepc are washed up and form
a beach. The black of the sand
doesn't come off on anything
and sort of crunches under
ynir fret We drove over
stretches of lava from prehis
toric times to 1950 which had
poured down to the sea.
Our free day at Kona before
our return flight to Honolulu
was spent loafing, swimming
in the lovely pool and eating.
Yes, always eating. The won
derful buffet luncheons are
enough to tempt the most hard,
ened diet addict and for me,
being on a diet is the farthest
thing from my mind! I've
been trying everything: mahl
mnhi, poha jam, opakapaka,
guava Ice cream, papayas ev
erything is fine but poi!
