Hula at the Mission Houses Museum

We met our friend Faye at the Mission Houses for a presentation of hula, oli, and mele. Andrea, Becky, and I went early to assist with setup and we stayed late to put the chairs away.


After helping to set up the chairs and so on, we got a bite to eat and a beer. Photo by Becky.

Alan and Terry worked the bar. Willis, as host, directed patrons. Andrea and I had helped set up the bar and audience chairs earlier.


Becky (behind the canopy upright) went to the lawn to photograph us.
