2018-02-16 Dinner and a little history

To thank the advance team, both groups went to the Red Water Cafe in Waimea.  The restaurant got a “thumbs up” from everyone.  Since many of you like to view and comment on our food section, we have included pictures of the dinner.

Yes, Debbie did order beef not fish.  People, have you heard of Parker Ranch?  We will repeat some of last year’s educational text on the blog.  For those of you at home wearing Parker Ranch memorabilia , we apologize for the repeat information. It has been revealed that some of the PH group doesn’t know about Parker Ranch.

Historic Moment:  It began with five cows—brought across the ocean by British Captain George Vancouver in 1788.  Vancouver presented the cows to King Kamehameha I.  The King set his cows free to roam Hawaii Island, and declared them to be kapu(off limits).  Over the next few years, the King’s cows multiplied into thousands.

In 1816, John Palmer Parker, a western advisor to Kamehameha, married royal granddaughter, Kipikane, and was awarded two acres of land for $10. He was given permission to wrangle the maverick cows that had thrived and multiplied, overrunning the range by the thousands.

By 1832, Parker contracted Mexican vaqueros, expert horsemen with plenty of cattle experience.  Called “paniolo” by Hawaiians.   Paniolo is a corruption of español, the language the vaquero spoke. The Hawaiian language does not have the “s” sound.  Get it – take the s out of espanol.  (Debbie had to think hard about this to understand.  They have been staying at a resort called Paniolo.   Who knew?  She thinks that the other three don’t know this and she is going to tell them.  They will be really excited!  ).

The beef business boomed and Parker Ranch was born. Over the next century it grew into one of the world’s largest privately-owned cattle ranches.  So now you know – again for some of you.

As a special added treat in today’s blog since the Paradise Homies went home the next day, some additional PH photos are included.  There is a special gallery called “The Turkeys of Paniolo Greens” (They could be called the Cowboy Turkeys”.

We end with a  sunset symbolic of the end of the trip for the Paradise Homies (Seriously, is this not a good ending?  Deep, really deep).
