Where there is a "Shave Ice" stand (which there are many), Al just has to stop. We saw this stand at a little mini-mart where Al got his 'fix'. It was a very good stop as this lady knew Joe's family one of my Hawaiian friends. Joe and Gloria were the bestest friends of Molly's ~ Gloria was born and raised in Waipahu, Oahu and Joe was born and raised on the Big Island around the town of Pepeekeo (Pepe e key o). Unfortunately Joe and Gloria have both passed away, but Joe still has family living in the area. This lady knew his brothers and sisters and Joe's nephew Leslie and his wife Danelle. Joe, Gloria and our friend, Shirley all went to Hawaii in 1987 where we attended Joe's grand niece's high school graduation Luau with the Kahlua Pig, Lomi Salmon, Lau Lau, traditional Macaroni Salad, and all the other trimming's. It was one party for me to remember. The pig was a wild boar that was caught and was one of many kept in a pen and fed for an eventual Luau meal. They were in the pen in the back yard. I would include those pictures but it wasn't from this trip and too long ago.
