Poli'ahu Heiau


This is a picture of a heiau, or outdoor temple, near Kapa'a on the East shore. I hiked near here on the July 4th weekend. It was apparently used by King Kaumuali'i, Hawaii's last king. If the picture were bigger, you could see that some offerings have been left recently. They wrap a rock with a ti leaf and leave it there as a kind of prayer.
