misanthropically The leper colony Kalaupapa.
http://thebandchoice.com/albums/acoustic-choice/ The Vatican just canonized Fr. Peter Damien, which gives me a great excuse to remember some of the good parts of my trip to Hawaii last year. I spent most of my time on Molokai, the small island where Peter Damien lived. Really all I need to show are images, which are extraordinary enough. And if the other parts of my life don’t work out, remind me to hop on a plane and get a job at any burger joint in Hawaii. I can flip burgers in that paradise.
Kalaupapa, the old leper colony, is a broad tongue of volcanic land accessed by an incredibly steep footpath. Its inaccessibility was the reason why lepers were imprisoned there.
Molokai cloud forest. Astonishing.
All I wanted to do was botanize. You can see why!
