Your fishing village story and pics reminds me of our one trip to Oahu. It was in April, at the tail end of some 45 straight days of rain, which caused a problem in Honolulu: overflowing sewage. They could let it run into the streets or dump it in the Ali Canal (I think the name is right). They chose the canal, which dumps into a marina. A week or so before we got there a guy fell off a boat in the marina (sounds like alcohol was involved) and later died of flesh-eating bacterial disease.

The beaches had barely opened the day before we arrived. We wondered why few people were in the ocean, and why the water was greenish-brown, not the blue we were looking forward to. We found out what happened by talking to a woman down by the pool. We stayed out of the water except for a trip to Yokahama Beach on the west side.

I have a hard time believing in past lives, but acknowledge there are many things I've never had experience with and even more I'm ignorant of. I suppose it's my religious background. One go-round on this spinning planet, not a lot. There's another guy on Substack that says he was also a lama, I think in the 1800s.

I enjoyed reading the post, as usual.
