My friend Brandon and I had an awesome time out at He'eia on the windward side to help out at the bi-monthly Māhuahua ‘Ai o Hoi project. The project aims "to restore Heʻeia Wetland into naturally productive kalo (taro) fields and other agricultural production for economic sustainability, education, biological resiliency
and cultural purposes."

We spent the morning pulling weeds and cleaning up the lo'i (irrigated taro terrace). We got to get down and dirty in the mud (fyi, don't jump in the mud with your slippers or you'll get stuck...noob)
We all went liiko'i picking after...
And of course, gotta eat!
Fresh Catch, soo 'Ono!
Fresh oysters on the grill!
Great people, 'Ono food, Big hearts...blessed to live Hawai'i
