first days 2009

Oct. 30 took a walk to the train station and took the train to schiphol airport. Flew to Frankfurt, from there to San Francisco. From there to Kona – Hawaii…..

Shelly picked me up from the airport, and after a Subway meal we headed to the Manago Hotel. The Japanese room. The hotel was founded in 1917 by some Japanese people.

Day after , south coast road drive to Shelly s place, visited the Pu’uhonoa o Honaunau , a sort of refuge camp. Wounded in battle , or fled from danger , people could hide safely in this holy safeplace. Battles only lasted a few days in those days , so they didn t have to stay very long.

Next day: just relaxed and went to the farmers market. Tuesdays we went to the hot pond again , floated and soaked around in the naturally heated very salty ocean water.
