Dear Jessie,
This the way the natives eat at their feasts.  No plates knives forks or spoons they eat poi, raw meat, fish.  Poi is in those little bowls you see in this picture.  My Aloha I send to you all.
Nellie –
Merry Xmas & a happy New Year.  Aloha = love & best wishes

What an interesting picture. Is that a house beside the people? Seems so close to the water.

Another penny post card.
They didn't waste any space on the back side.
Lucky it say "THIS SIDE FOR ADDRESS ONLY" on the front side on the card

OK, I'll have a bowl of poi and a boat ride after the meal, please.

What an interesting bit of history..I wonder how long the boat ride was to the Hawaiian Islands back then..:)
