Lapu Lapu's at the Royal Hawaiian? Or margaritas at Las Brisas? Come on out, Lionel and I love visitors. It rained here for nearly a solid week, a very refreshing thing. We also needed the water badly. You get used to growing water-hungry tropicals in desert conditions around here. It is much more desert here than tropical, but people are still trying to turn it into Hawaii. Here's a picture of the same property in 1927. The house I'm in is on the very, very left-hand edge, the brown one. You'll notice there aren't any palm trees.
