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.

I'm in Hawaii, Aloha everybody.

I have been here for only a few hours and can say very little except it's hot. it's kind of the same weather as Morales o Puerto Barrios but dryer. There is a nice wind blowing all the time.

This is a very interesting town and I am sure I will learn a lot. Just on the drive over from the airport I noticed that the city has many layers. It has gone through different phases and transformations very quickly. I saw the old industrial area, the small businesses that were probably very important at some point, and the big mall.

I met some of the people from the group, it is very varied. I am looking forward to talking with all of them.
Tomorrow we are going to visit the University for the first time. I got a bus pass that I intend to use a lot. I want to discover how far the bus will take me. It is an island so I am confident that I can't get lost.

Tomorrow I will be taking photos of the city and what not...
