Kapu

Kapu is the Hawaiian word for Forbidden.

This area photographed above is the Honokahua Burial Site, and it is located near the Ritz Carlton Resort in Kapalua. Information posted there says this area is "reserved exclusively for native Hawaiian ceremonial and religious practices."

I once married couples near here down towards the water, but times have changed. This information wasn't posted back then.

Last Float At The Pool

When the evening arrives, everyone leaves the swimming pools at the resorts. I took this photo last night of the last float, a happy reminder of an relaxed day at the Ritz Carlton Pool in Kapalua. The tiki torches have been turned on, and the night festivities began.
