My Hawaiian Souvenirs
/I enjoyed collecting earrings in Hawaii. There were made of koa wood, shell, and obsidian....island materials. The shell necklace was a lei from the resort where we spent the first night.
I bought 2 T-shirts: one a tropical weight long sleeved T shirt with botanical motifs and the other covered with Hawaiian petroglyph patterns and a heavier fabric.
I bought a lightweight robe with a flowery motif.
Mauna Kea is a good place for warm socks (I’ve already tried them out on a recent cold day here in Maryland) and a stuff bag that is easy to carry and expand as I need to carry more things.
On our last day in Hawaii before we headed off to our last hikes in the national park, we visited 2400 Fahrenheit – the studio of glass artists Michael and Misato Mortara. We bought two pieces. One reminds us of tidal pools and the other of volcanoes.
