Merrie Monarch Again

Well, that was a good festival. {SMILE}

The local paper is bragging about their online write-up at http://www.hawaiitribune-herald.com .

The TV was advertising DVD's available at http://www.kamehamehapublishing.org/ . However, at least one close friend and one relative shouldn't be too quick to order from that site. {Smile, wink}

P.S. I had the wrong address for the DVD's. I've now corrected it. {Smile}

Hula time! {SMILE}

For those who don't know, the Merrie Monarch Hula festival is a huge hula competition my home town of Hilo hosts every year. Last night - the first night - was Miss Aloha Hula, the young womens' (18-25 years old) competition. Tonight will be Hula Kahiko (old-style hula). Tomorrow will be Hula Auana (new-style hula). A new station is televising it this year. To see the videos, check here: http://www.k5thehometeam.com/ . {SMILE}

Easter {Smile}

Easter went well, if quietly. We didn't make it to church, because we just weren't feeling up to that and later too. However, we had Paella (particularly fancy Spanish fried rice) with a friend. Then Dad, the friend, and I watch Return of the King on TV. {Smile}

As I said, it was a quiet but nice Easter. {SMILE}

Happy Easter! {Smile}

Happy Easter to all who celebrate it. {SMILE} And to those who don't, have a nice day anyway. {Smile}
