Pau – Flip Flop

COUNTRY:
Pau

DESIGN:
This was our first trip to Hana, though we had lived in Honolulu for 2 years previously. It is very relaxed there before the daily tourists arrive and after they leave.  I particularly like walking the grounds of the Hotel Hana Maui at sunset, buying roadside fruit and visiting Lindberg’s grave.  I was standing in front of the gravestone and thought it was so lucky that a biplane flew overhead at that very moment — only later realizing it was a sightseeing flight that deliberately flew over the grave. One of the first class stamp designs that year was a tropical fish —  : )

MAILED:
by me at the Hana post office in 1993
