Learning was not the first thing to come to mind when one is on vacation. Yet, through experience, learning about Hawaii's culture and ways of living came very easy. You didn't even feel like you were learning. The facts were interesting and the stories sucked you in. An example includes the Hawaiian fire and volcano goddess, who is Pele. She is the most truly Hawaiian of deities. Pele is very protective of her land, therefore from tourist taking her land (lava rock), she will curse anyone who tried. This includes shells, rocks, and sand. All this was found on Pele, Goddess of Fire, published in 2012 by Lady Gryphons, with help from the Hawaii Volcanoes National
