Pele's Chair

Went to Pele's Chair today  (here is some info on Pele for those that do not know)
On Makapu’u point sits a lava rock formation known as Pele’s Chair. It is said to be the place where Pele departed from O’ahu to do work on other islands.

When fiery lava flows down a volcano in Hawai’i, ancient Hawaiian mythology explains that Pele, the goddess of fire, is very much alive. Considered a feisty, charismatic, and volatile being, she is also the goddess of lightning, dance, and violence. Pele is one of the most recognized of all Hawaiian deities. According to myth, Pele resides within the Halema’uma’u crater of Kilauea volcano on the Big Island of Hawai’i. However her presence is felt along the entire island chain: many hula dances are performed in honor of Pele, islanders still speak of ghostly encounters with this hot Hawaiian legend on the Big Island, and on the eastern-most point of the island of O’ahu is her chair.
