Big Island (Waikoloa Coast), March 2, 2022

 I have had some great cups of coffee in my life, and I have always found that much of the greatness is situational.  I don’t think that you can have a better coffee situation than a cup of 100% Kona coffee on the Kona Coast.  By this standard this morning I had a great cup of coffee.



Kealakekua Bay is where Captain Cook first set foot on the Big Island.  It is also, where on a return visit, he was killed by the Hawai’ians. Sandy and I visited the shores of that bay.  At the same location stands an ancient Hawi’ian temple, Hikiau Heiau.





A little further down the road is the largest and best preserved ancient Hawai’ian site.  Pu’uhonua O Hōnaunau is a remarkable site.  Unlike other sites this one has some recreations of the wooden structures that were a part of these temples.
