In a quiet moment, remember Pearl.

That sleepy Sunday was called ‘a day of infamy’.  

Today it is just a watery memory, the salty tears for those lost now part of the ocean, but an event that forever shaped the island paradise.

How fitting that in ancient history the tribal lore says that Pearl got its name from a maiden princess’s tears turned into pearls as she cried for her lost love.

The pearls and the tears are all gone but the haunting tales of loss remain.

Remember Pearl.  Remember the loss.

About Kikidoll
Kikidoll is the eternal beachgirl, and takes her inspiration from the awesome elegance and pristine simplicity of beaches and waves everywhere. She muses on islands, oceans, beaches, shells, flowers, tropical living, travel, design and style, swimming, surfing, her beloved Hawaii nei, the spirit of aloha, iconic symbols and of course the fleeting ‘endless summer’. Most importantly, she frets over what to wear at the beach!
