Although we bought our Hawaii house over 3 years ago, we have never participated in the Sunday Stroll at Kona's Historic Kailua Village. So, while hanging out at Kona Haven Coffee yesterday morning with the gang, this topic came up. Once a month, Ali'i Drive, where all the tourists go, is closed to traffic.
Ali'i Drive parallels the ocean, dotted by small and big shops, restaurants, churches, and historic places with cultural significance. The weather was perfect for a leisurely stroll, even though August is often the hottest month in Kona. I suppose the hurricane south of us brought those late afternooon showers, too.
The people in that photo above are all from Placer County in California. On the left is my friend, Linda, who used to live in Roseville, California, and the other two are her former neighbors. Of course, as we're strolling along, the couple asked if I sell homes in Roseville. Yup. When they're ready to move to Kona, sure, I'll sell their home. Picking up new business in the streets of Kailua Village. Gotta love that, right?
You can read more and see all of my photos in my personal blog today at this link: Sunday Stroll at Kona's Historic Kailua Village. Be sure to check out the saffron finches and cardinal.
