Aloha!
As much as things seem to be getting back to normal, there still seem to be a few random disappointments. For some (not me mind you) it is the cancellation of the Maui Fair, for the third year in a row. There was also a short-lived ban at a local high school on lei-giving at graduation, fortunately, there was such an outcry from the community, the school reversed the decision.
Speaking of lei-giving at graduation, which is coming up shortly here on Maui, if you've never had the opportunity to participate in a Hawaiian graduation ceremony (or any other big occasion really) you're missing out! It is one of my favorite traditions seeing the students celebrated and honored with a neck full of leis. It is a truly beautiful event. |
