JUNE EN PLEIN AIRE SCHEDULE

JUNE SCHEDULE, EN PLEIN AIRE
Sorry kids that this sched. wasn't posted eariler in the month-- I was touring Europe. I thought my iphone could substitute for a laptop, but it could not. When this month's schedule came out, I was in Austria with plenty WIFI connection. However when I logged on to my little Plein Air Blog, it was all written in German! A language I do not read or speak, but I pressed on, thinking I could figure my way through, just from familiarity.. but I was very wrong. The air messages were stern & persistent enough that I finally backed off, (step away from the itsy-tiny-iphone-sized-German-language-computer-air-messages). I just returned home last night 6/17, so here I sit, posting an ever so late June Schedule. However, I did have a fantastic time in the old country... just have a few glitches to work out with the touring/blogging thing.... And NOW.. ta da!

THE SCHEDULE- every Thursday, 8am or so, no fees, no rules-
3- WAI'ULI BEACH PARK– (formerly Leleiwi), we are here every first Thursday of each month. Tide pools, sea grass, shade trees, honu, endless sky & across the bay views. An informal non-mandatory midday critique (work in progress or current work). Kalaniana'ole Ave., just before Richardson's in Keaukaha-5 pavilions in a row, life guard tower, restrooms, parking.

10- KOLEKOLE BEACH PARK- Hamakua coast, turn off from the Hwy just North of Honomu Town exit. We'll be at the beach park. River meets ocean, small waterfall, bridge trestle, beach, lawns, coconut trees, rugged coast view (bring mosquito repellent). Covered pavilion & lua

17- BAYFRONT CANOE LANDING-Hilo Bay at canoe HALAU. Easy access, lots of parking, and bay views of Hilo, the shoreline, Mauna Kea, splashes of color from the canoes. Kamehameha Ave., enter beach park parking lot across from the old Iron Works bldg. Look for group.

24- 17 MILE MARKER KAMA'ILI - located on Red Road at Kama'ili.. A favorite spot, fondly called Arthur's Office. From Pahoa by-pass head past Pahoa High school towards Kalapana, follow the road when it curves down to Kaimu (makai). Turn left at the junction, follow coast road down towards Kapoho, pass Kalani Resort to 17 Mile marker. A little by-pass created to move the road away from the eroding cliff. A sweet slice of classic Hawaii.
