Rainy Day...

Aloha Class!
Today was a very rainy day here in Hawaii, which is very unusual. I am pretty sure that it was raining on all of the islands, but definately on the island of Maui, which is where I live. There are eight main islands (over 100 little ones too), which make up the state of Hawaii. They are Ni'ihau, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, Lana'i, Kaua'i,Kaho'olawe, and the big island, which is actually named' Hawaii.
To answer your questions, there are only 12 letters in the Hawaiian alphabet: all of the vowels: a, e, i, o, u, (which are pronounced like spanish vowels in words), and the consonants are; h, k, l, m, n, p, and w. (the w is pronounced like a v when in the middle of a word, like the in the name of the island, Kaho'olawe). KA-HO-O-LA-VAY.
Our time difference now is that I am 5 hours behind. We don't have daylight savings time, so in the spring it will go up to 6 hours. So when you are reading this, AD, Oscar and I will be sleeping!
Hopefully the weather will be good this weekend so AD and I can go to the beach!
Aloha!!
