Hawai'i's rich history comes alive in walking tour
The Advertiser has a piece
on an historical walking tour of the Honolulu district around 'Iolani Palace,
with some interesting information about Queen Liliu'okalani and King Kalakaua
and the technologically progressive and colorful international nature of
Honolulu at the time, such as the fact that "David Kalakaua's staff enjoyed
electricity long before their counterparts in the White House, Japan's Meiji
Palace, or England's Buckingham Palace."
