Kama'aina

Hawaiian: kama'āina, from kama (child) + 'āina (land)

A few views from our brief but welcome time in Hawai'i. Elizabeth can't get over how sweet it is to drink tap water.


With Leolani and Teitjen -- we were told to make funny faces, but not everyone complied...


Teitjen showing us what to look for (and we did see some whales)


Blue waters at Makapu'u


Poolside (with much gratitude to Judy and family for the hospitality!)


Grits basking in the good light


More of said light


Satoshi, clearly terribly stressed out


Elizabeth's brother John, in no hurry to return to Ohio


Makena and Luka, enjoying the last light


Stuart, Kayo, and Mana visiting from Tokyo


Watching monster waves on the North Shore, Christmas Day


Purnima was back in Hawai'i from India


Maka: two legs down, but it's not holding her back


Andy being adored by dogs, Marty being adored by cats, Grits laughing


Andy listens attentively



One half of the feline troops at the Gresham/Anderson compound


Linguists at rest (Patricia and David) -- guess the movie wasn't all that absorbing

Now we're off to southern California for a bit...
