We celebrated my inlaws 50th wedding anniversary there in 1997. Beautiful alpan like setting, rolling green hill, even Sound of Music sing a long at dinner. Wonderful hike to the chapel. <br /><br />Just went on Amazon to see if I could find the book by Maria as I also read and loved it, but she has actually written 2 or 3 and 2 daughters have written one each. <br /><br />Thanks for such an interesting and timely story!Jennifer Shoerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080992117190219898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-39948589109351721332011-01-04T16:48:28.779-08:002011-01-04T16:48:28.779-08:00Heather - interesting grave markers.

I remember that was a wonderful book. You could check it out if you want the authentic story. I wish I could give a better reference but it was many many moons ago. It wasn't one of these more recently written books.Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738104230962644360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-62114474542027810982011-01-04T06:14:58.504-08:002011-01-04T06:14:58.504-08:00It looks beautiful there and very peaceful!

After participating in the public discussions on the "Princess Kaiulani" film, and meeting the film makers, I can see that producers today are more sensitive to family and history, but still not perfect. There will always be a difference between film as art and documentaries.Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-2740844158383054402011-01-04T04:59:07.532-08:002011-01-04T04:59:07.532-08:00Thanks for sharing Heather.

In a way, that surprised me somewhat but on the other hand it was interesting to read of the points of disagreement she had with the movie. Their escape created some excitement but I think I would have also enjoyed/appreciated knowing the reality of how things had played out. Anyhow - we still enjoy the Sound of Music! ;)<br /><br />LucieLucie LeBlanc Consentinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13480035657625949265noreply@blogger.com
