I’ve met several musicians from the Kalapana ahupua’a. The prolific Pahinui family is from there and have ties and big concerts in Seattle. Coming right up Nov 10 too. Eeeee! Can’t wait.
My hope for my next visit is to mess around on the Hamakua coast area and find that place growing the brilliant red cacao pods. Why not? It’s been my traveler’s experience that having a ‘quest’ brings out the best in my hosts, especially in overtouristed places like Hawai’i, Paris (student) and Venice (student again next year?)
As someone who particularly loves the Big Island, I enjoy the stories and pictures of your Awalua ahupua’a.
Although I couldn’t find it on this map. https://volcanoheritagecottages.com/2021/12/10/hawaii-islands-unique-ahupuaa-and-diverse-districts/

Safe travels Beth!
Itʻs on the map. Enjoy your concert this month! But I believe the Pahinui family is from Oʻahu...
