We started decorating the tree today and these are the ornaments we’ve got from our various trips to the Big Island. The one on the right was from the Renn Fair in #honokaa and the shirt ornament was from a shop in #hawi. Hope to get back there soon. #hawaii #christmas

Here’s your moment of zen: the coastline of Big Island below my house (which is way up at 1500’), on the Hāmākua coast, called Honoka’a landing. Just imagine bags of sugar being hoisted onto a sea cable and put onto ships (how in the hell did they anchor here) 130 years ago. Also cows swimming out to cargo ships for processing. #hawaii #sakadas #Honokaa
