$340

When I got there it was low tide and the pond was empty and dry. It was occupied by a woman in a beach chair and her small dog. The high surf suddenly began splashing in to fill the pond as the tide rose. The woman and the dog fled and the ae'o or Hawaiian Stilt flew in almost simultaneously.

They had no choice in losing their homes to the development. Much history, and therefore turmoil, has taken place here, but the ageless tranquility remains. There are stories about the old days here at
