We had a very interesting time at the old sugar cane mill and museum which we visited on the same day we went to the Kalaupapa overlook. The mill was built and operated by the man who was played by Kris Kristopherson in the movie about Father Damien and the leper colony he started on the peninsula.

The reclining stone in the picture is a birthing stone. Fortunately mats were placed on the stone before the mother would lie down. The small stone at the side is a god to whom they prayed for a safe delivery and healthy baby. The plant on its right is sugar cane.

I'm afraid I don't know much about posting on this blog. I get things arranged the way I want, even with multiple photos and commentary, check the preview and finding it acceptable I "publish" the post. But the post that appears on the blog does not look like what I just approved. Frustrating! So until I learn more I will do one photo at a time.
