Today we visited the ruins of King Kamehameha III's Summer Palace. He picked a nice place for his summer home. Nu'uanu Pali is tucked in the Ko'olau Mountains in a dense forest. There are abundant breezes and enough shade to bring the temperature down significantly. The ruins are pretty intact, probably because they are relatively young, and include a kitchen and a heiau, or temple.
The rumor is that there are a lot of spirits here, so we got ourselves pretty spooked. It is the week before Halloween. We were careful not to let X steal any rocks.
