OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
When locals give directions, they don't
speak in terms of north and south, east and
west, but rather mauka (mountain side) or
makai (toward thge sea), Ewa (toward the Ewa
plains), or Diamond Head. Such is the
significance of Oahu's most prominent and
recognizable geographic landmark to the
Hawaiian sense of place......... |
