There is no home delivery of mail in our subdivision (and many others in the area). Mail is delivered to community mailboxes on the main roads, but there's a very long wait (four to five years) to get one of those boxes, and there are no boxes available at the post office (about an eight-month wait), so we have to go to the post office in Keaau every few days to pick up our mail.

This is our local farmer's market. There are about five farmer's stands selling various fruits and vegetables and a couple of stalls selling prepared foods. The prices vary a lot, with the local fruit being on the less expensive side. The papayas are 6 or 7 per dollar (depending on the variety) and incredibly delicious. Limes seem expensive (about 50 cents each) but they are extremely juicy, so they last a long time. The mangoes ($1/lb) are by far the best we've ever tasted.

Today we also got our plumbing equipment installed in the back shed. Since we use a catchment tank, we have a pump to pressurize the water, a filter to remove any contaminants, and a UV light to kill any bacteria that gets into the water (instead of using chemicals).
