Here is the group we've been living and working with on the farm. Friday we came back to Kona from a trip up one of the dormant volcanoes (pics of that to come later) to a picnic on the beach at Place of Refuge. During ancient Hawaiian times, a person would flee to this place if he had broken one of the rules or customs and people were after him. If he made it here, apparently he could cleanse himself and be safe from any harm. Now they've turned it into a pretty sweet national park and beach spot!
Anyways, the two people in white are Douglas and Sheree, the couple that run the farm and have been on the island for over 30 years. The other man is Jan, a German guy that Douglas picked up hitchiking 25 years ago and has been coming back to the farm from the east coast every winter ever since. His wife Jurga is in blue, and she is from Lithuania. Jill in black with her sweet dog Poppy is the resident farm worker that lives right next to us, and her partner Nicole in green. They're originally from the west coast but both studied tropical agriculture at the Univ. of Hawaii. It's a great group!!
