Hawai'ian Delights

King Kamehameha's View

[View of Kona from Kamehameha's Palace]

Kona, Hawai'i

This was taken near the Palace of King Kamehameha, on the "Big Island" of Hawai'i. Kamehameha was the last of the line of Great Hawaiian kings, as best described in Michener's Hawaii, and with great historical and emotional poignancy in Helena Allen's (much smaller) paperback, The Betrayal of Princess Liluokalani: Last Hawaiian Queen.

In the background center, with proper resolution, brown patches can be seen, which are your basic Kona coffee beans, unique in their taste due to both lineage and the rich volcanic soil.
