You folks can scoot past the commercials, lucky!

The mele and the kids are so beautiful!!!

1. Beautiful, stunningly beautiful--the music, the young people...

This gives me hope for the future of the world--all colors and races singing together in peace and lovely harmony. May Hawaii show us the way!

[mahina]

2. That is very kind and a lovely thought, thank you!

Nice to meet you, aloha.

[Surya Gayatri]

3. Aloha to you, too, mahina. I've been

around here for some time, but don't post very often.
Actualy, my dream is to visit Hawaii sometime in my life.
When I was a little girl, I loved the song "Aloha Oe" composed by Queen Liliuokalani.

4. Hey drop me a note when you come!

Here's a lovely hula performance of Aloha 'Oe

And a photo of the area where the Queen wrote the mele. You can see the mountains that the lovely dancer above is describing in the hula. http://www.808talk.com/2010/08/02/photo-maunawili-falls/

aloha friend.

6. Thanks for posting these lovely vids, mahina...

Unfortunately, my finances won't permit a trip to Hawaii for the foreseeable future!

I live in France, so just the air fare would be prohibitive--half a world away.
But, if and when I come into money, the Aloha State will be one of my first destinations!

7. So funny, I want to travel to France, with the same obstacle.

I hope you enjoy France for me, and I'll do the same here.

Toute a l'heure!

[Surya Gayatri]

8. France is definitely worth the "detour",

as the French say.
Amazingly diverse and beautiful country, inhabited by a complicated, but fascinating people.
A bientôt et profite bien de ton bel état, mon ami!

5. Ka ipo lei manu
