We went to eat brunch and saw the Te Vara Nui show.
Main takeaway: Three days is enough to run into people you have seen in the days prior.
The person I sat next to in the airplane was walking on the sidewalk a little way from the Palace Takeaway One location we ate at the day before.
A husband and wife who worked in a boutique where I had bought the shorts I was wearing that day was at the bakery we stopped at.
Jenna’s server from dinner the night before at Cafe Ariki was at the brunch spot.
And at Te Vara Nui, one of the woman who cleaned our villa and brought us our complimentary stay breakfast also sat us at the show.
Observations and learnings: Many ‘olelo hawai’i are closely related to words here. Here are two examples off-the-cuff.
Nu = Niu = coconut
Muumuu = Mu’umu’u = dress
