Yesterday, we took a visit to Wailuku River State Park. While there, we got to see Waianuenue (Rainbow Falls), which was totally gorgeous!
We also got to see this incredible and huge, banyan tree. It stretched so wide. We learned from Van that in her culture, these trees hold spirits and are somewhat dangerous. It seems that Hawaiian folklore says something similar. The banyan trees serve as conduits for ancestral spirits but also represent shelter. Very interesting and very beautiful!
