Today was a fun day of traveling south on the island, finding more new sites that we hadn’t seen on our trips down there before.
We found the Painted Church near the village of Captain Cook. The church was built in 1899 and since most of the Hawaiians could not speak English, the pastor painted the Bible stories on the walls to teach Christianity to his Hawaiian parishioners. The paintings are still quite vibrant and the church is still in use.
On our way back to the resort, we were determined to find the well hidden German man who sells 100% Kona coffee for a very reasonable price instead of the $40+ per pound that it costs in the stores. We learned about him from one of Sandy and David’s friends that we met on Monday. His name is Emmerich Grosch and he provides the roasting process and machines to a group of local coffee farmers. His operation is found among slabs of granite. A remarkably happy man who loves coffee, Hawaii and a chill sort of life.
Tonight after a sunset dinner at the Italian restaurant we walked around the resort enjoying the different visitas lit in post sunset splendor…
