So Beautiful

This place is so beautiful.

We wanted to site see today.....so we started up to the Dole Pineapple Plantation which is in the middle of the island. On our way up we stopped at the Birthing Stones. It was different to see how some gave birth but interesting to read the story behind it.

The Kukaniloko Birthing Stones is where royalty gave birth to future leaders Once the women gave birth (mind you in front of 36 male chiefs watching), the child was taken from her and she would not see them again until they were grown. They did this so the child wouldn't be murdered. It sure didn't look comfortable and maked me appreciate the hospitals!
