I have climbed those rocks and it is lovely but dangerous. Mandans can climb any terrain.
scary!
I’m shocked she got out of her studio apartment and did something, agreed! Scary!
SA: “Lanai”is a patio. “Lanaì”is the island. Please use correct spelling. And please don’t use the argument that you don’t use okinas for Hawaiian words because it’s your policy or because you’re unable to. I quickly scanned the rest of the online opening page and, in the sports section, see that you spelled “Ìolani”and “Keaàu”using okinas. In the Hawaiian language, an okina’s presence or absence actually changes the meaning of the word.
Probably standing in an area he’s not suppose to be. Tourist. Smh
