Today's Word of the Day is "Ko`olau"

Na ko'olau

Aloha Po`akahi (po ah ka hee….meaning Happy Monday),

It’s the beginning of November and another week in 2Honu’s series of the Hawaiian word of the day. Born on the windward side of O`ahu, you could always count on the beautiful backdrop that is called the “Ko`olau” mountains. I loved seeing the rain showers sweep across and feeling the winds streaming down. Ko`olau (ko`oh lao) means windward side of the Hawaiian islands. I consider it a guardian, overlooking O`ahu, and a centerpiece that stretches across the land. When you travel through the Wilson tunnel, it is an awesome site to take in, as its majestic and green presence enraptures you….

A hui hou,

Haunani
