Pahoa was not far from me did you check out the "hemp"Museum and did it seem like a time travel to the 60's?
It takes a while for the locals to accept you but once they do you become OHANA.
No, dang, I like museums. We stayed about 12 miles from Pahoa down by the coast not far from a yoga retreat place which is where we had thanksgiving dinner. It was a gay bed and breakfast. The ironic thing was, the other guests were sooo boring...usually in those places, everyone jokes around and someone is flamboyant but these guys just talked about the news, immigration, property values, I was like, for God sakes, be gay! My friend and I did a lot of driving around, we had fun, and yes Pahoa felt like going back to the '60's.
