         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons
Friday, January 11, 2013:  Mark and Paula spent the afternoon and evening at the Polynesian Cultural Center on the north end of Oahu.    
   
Wondrous scenery there.

Who are those guys anyway?
The many cultures of Polynesia were showing their stuff that day.
Polynesia is actually Samoa, Aotearoa, Fiji, Hawaii, Tahiti, and Tonga. 

All south seas island groups.

It reminded Mark of the musical South Pacific.
Great action aboard the canoes.
Yes, they were really into it during the show and maybe afterward.  
This canoe one was for Hawaii. 

Very well done....best of the bunch.
It is the happy hand that almost everyone uses in Hawaii.

 
 
Paula was very pleased that she was able to make a fish from palm leaves.

She plans on trying that at home in Brainerd with leaves that she might find in the summer.
 
Mark did not do as well with his fish probably because he was preoccupied with one of the local girls.

She is using the happy hand (hang loose) gesture.  A friendly thing to do.

 
Ever climb a coconut tree?  This guy did with ease.
 
It was a full day of learning the cultures and watching native dancing. 

More to come on the Hawaii trip.

Quote of the day:  They have more energy for dancing than I do!   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
