Aloha
mai kākou,
Today
makes one week since this blog started, and I appreciate your interest, time, and kind words of encouragement. Our mission is to simply share
words, facts, myths, and photos of this beautiful place I call home.
The islands are canvassed by green mountains, valleys, and forests due to
the large amount of rainfall we get throughout the year. Subsequently, many rainbows are formed
in many different places after a misty rain and sunshine. The word for
rainbow is ānuenue (pronounced ahh-noo-way-noo-way), and it is the mascot for
several athletic teams at the University of Hawai`i. It also appears on
the Hawai`i license plate.
Laka,
is recognized as the Goddess of hula and the forest. It is said, that
Lono, God of fertility, had slid down a Rainbow, to marry her. How
romantic is that?!?!
A
hui hou,
Haunani
