Ahh... the Na Pali coastline. One of the most beautiful places on earth. This is on the island of Kau'a'i. The "Okinas" (this thing ---> ')are a "glottal stop" which would be the same thing as the dash in "uh-oh". It helps with pronunciations. So, Kau'a'i is pronounce "cow-ah-ee". Hawaiian is actually easy to read and write. It looks funny to most, but is like 10,000 easier to spell than English. I could teach someone how to spell perfect Hawaiian in like an hour. It would take years and years and years to learn to spell perfect English.

Check out the Na Pali coastline pics here. I can do it no justice with words.
