COURTESY CAPPY FASI
ALOHA, NO | Aloha Farmacia (pharmacy) has a soothing ring to it, but the meaning was lost in translation when John Whelan and Cappy Fasi inquired with the saleswoman at the drugstore in Carmona, Spain. Fasi said the woman didn't know what aloha meant or that it was a Hawaiian word or even where the islands are situated. "We had a good laugh," Fasi said. Fasi and Whelan were with a group driving from Sevilla to Cordoba when they stopped in Carmona.
