Aloha by any other name is still friendly and welcoming, as these Caribbean travelers discovered at Cariloha, a dress shop in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, earlier this year. Photographer Evelyn Llamas of Hono­lulu said the shop owner defined “Cariloha” as “living the Caribbean style with the spirt of aloha” and gives every shopper a bamboo lei. Llamas’ travel mates were Tony Sipin, left, Espie Sipin, Anastacia Cadiente, Pauline Catbagan and Victor Llamas.
