Original image

This is a picture of the Hulihe'e Palace, at the coast in Kona across the street from the first church. Princess Ruth, who is responsible for much of the wealth of the Hawaiian school system created to benefit the native Hawaiians. Princess Ruth was also quite tall, quite large, and refused to speak English- requiring a translator in spite of her fluency in the language. This Palace was damaged in the October 15, 2006 earthquake, is currently under repair, and the tours are limited pending full repairs.
