Chris: Ok. And we’re winding down here. One picture you have that really brings you back to Molokai.

Pam.: My husband took a picture of a sight where the fishponds are. They’re restoring the fishponds on Moloka’i.

Chris: The traditional Hawaiian Fish Ponds?

Pam: Yes. It’s early aquaculture. The Hawaiian’s were fish farming before most of us were.

Chris: Right.

Pam: That makes me sound like I’m fishing farming in my backyard.

Chris: How’s that fish farming going? Ok.

Pam: My husband took a picture facing across the fishponds and the water is not quite flat. It’s just a little bit rippled. And there are these beautiful perfect palm trees, and the beach is covered with coconut husks. And I look at that picture, I set it as my desktop for a really long time. There’s some big fluffy clouds in the sky but it’s clearly a sunny day. And it is the quintessential tropical paradise photograph. There was nobody else on the beach there. So when I look at that I just think, “ Oh, that’s Moloka’i. Oh, I wish I was there.” My windows are speckled with rain and the sky is really gray and I’m thinking about that picture of Moloka’i and the sun and that beautiful blue water, those unspoiled beaches. They’re just clean and empty. Oh yeah. That’s the place to be.

Chris: And finish this sentence for me. You really know you’re in Molokai when what…?

Pam: When you have that feeling of time stopping?

Chris: Um. Interesting. And last question. If you had to summarize Moloka’i in three words, what three words would you use?

Pam: Well, I could do two. I could do two. Totally mellow.

Chris: Ok. Great. I’ll owe you a word then if you come back on this show. You’ll get four words.

Pam: Ok. I’ll use it for something else.

Chris: Pam, Thanks so much for coming on this show and sharing your obvious love for Moloka’i and you’re not so much love for Lana’i.

Pam: Thanks for having me, Chris.
