The Ke'anae Peninsula (Discovery #3 I am an accident waiting to happen))

The waves at Ke'anae 

While on the infamous 'Road to Hana' Info for Road to Hana we decided to check out a road which lead down to the shore at Ke'anea ( kay ah NIGH). (Turn left at mile marker 17)
I had my camera of course, so I was eager to get some shots of the amazing waves that day. Unfortunately, I wanted to get a shot that lead me to stepping onto a rock which rolled out from under my feet, and thrust me forward into a lava rock ledge, shredding my knee and calf.  Consequently, we were unable to continue exploring the amazing little town, and church etc. due to the bleeding  (insert a collective aw-w-w here) .

My shredded leg made for a great ice breaker wherever I went , and it has since healed fairly well.  I do have some gnarly scars from the incident that I wear as both a badge of honor from an ancient memorial the lava left behind... and of course a badge of shame being so clumsy, my husband renamed me "Calamity Jan".  On that note, please be very careful not to turn your back on the ocean, or get too close to the edge.  In treacherous conditions like you are seeing here, tourists have been swept out into the surf.  You can't be too careful!

Perhaps a month or so later, we met a very nice man named Bo, who lives down the road from us.  He grew up in Ke'anae, and his grandmother is the minister of the little church there.  The area has so much history, you can feel it in the air.  Bo grew up growing taro with his family, and worked on that very church which needed some repairs.  It was so nice to put a friends face to a place we had been, especially a place as beautiful and historic as Ke'anae.

I wonder if the fishing was goodflickr photo set

Please let me know if you have been to Ke'anae, and what you think.  I would love to get comments.
