We’re pleased to pass on an invitation from our friends in the charming village of Wailea, just north of Hilo, for everyone to attend an event they’re calling “Wailea-Hakalau: A Walk Back In Time.” Its a wonderful mix of kupuna talk story, reflections on plantation life, and a hearty beef stew plate-lunch from Cafe 100. Sounds like a great way to spend a Sunday.
Held at Akiko’s Buddhist Bed & Breakfast in Wailea, visiting this place takes you way, way back in time. We covered their annual Mochi Pounding community event at New Years, and completely loved it. Below the poster, watch the segment we produced in its entirety — you’ll get the jist of life in Wailea. For more, plan on attending their “Walk Back in Time” gathering on June 29.
