Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau

Yesterday we visited the west side of the island south of Kona to see the historical site Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau.  It is a National Park preserving two aspects of Hawaiian culture.  The Royal Grounds and the Puʻuhonua, a place of refuge for those people breaking the spiritual laws of the time.  Nearby was a place to snorkel and also a place to have a picnic lunch we brought overlooking the ocean.  Then we took a short hike on the 1871 trail which Mark Twain talked about in his “Letters from Hawaii”
