Hula Sister aka Aunty Nan Orman visited Huliheʻe Palace in Kona today and received a two-hour guided tour of HHM David Kalākauaʻs occasional residence by a lovely docent named Peter who, I discovered, dances hula with the kūpuna of Keala Ching.
No photos allowed, so the beautiful cradle of little Prince Albert, who passed away at age four, and who is immortalized in the song "Nā Hala O Naue" (a mele my Half Moon Bay group performs with pūʻili) canʻt be shown here, nor can the many other historic artifacts I would have snapped shots of.
But....I was able to snap a shot of items in the gift shop of this summer palace of Hawaiʻiʻs aliʻi---the books for sale included "Hula Sister". I felt very humbled and honored.
