In Hawaii there are many kinds of hula.
There's the stuff you see in tourist places, 
that really doesn't have a lot to do with hula at all.
That would be like the show on Capt. Bean's
Dinner Cruise.

Then there's the kind you see in tourist places
that's more like the modern hula of the
real hula halaus. We enjoyed this at the 
Kona Village Resort, though the
pictures aren't so good due to the dark stage.

Or the wonderful ritual every evening at the
Ilikai in Honolulu where we spent 2 days.
It begins with the hula show, followed by the
blowing of the conch, then the lighting of the torches.

Then finally, there is the ancient hula.
We were fortunate to be there on a day when
there was a special presentation at the 
Volcano National Park.
