    Hula in the park

    On thursday hawaiians celebrated Kamehameha day and during friday and saturday there were many celebrations and presentations to commemorate the day. We had an opportunity to see a few of the ceremonies. The first video is the lai drapping, in which lais are presented to King kamehameha.

    There is a lot of history relating to the monarchi of hawaii, it somehow reminds me of Tecun Uman and his story.

    This second video was shot in a park near the aquarium.
