They are very small and Were only on the floor by a piece of food that I had unknowingly dropped while cooking the night before. Hardly an infestation...I would call it a feast for some lucky ant's if anything, and for me it was more of a glimpse at how nature should be less the mainlands obsession with extermination and false sense of cleanliness. Secondly, no fuse tripped while cooking said meal, microwave included while both burners were on. I made rice, broccoli, ahi, steak, and fresh shrimp from the local market. All very fresh and delicious, though deveining and beheading the shrimp was a little tedious with limited kitchen utensils. People come here expecting to find that barbie doll paradise... An "untouched" and authentic Hawaii, that still offers picture-perfect amenities. This island is not for the Yuppies back on the main land looking for a deserted island movie prop to spend their vacation on. It IS the real deal. Beautiful, Clean, Pristine, Rugged, Natural.... The REAL Hawaii. Molokai took my love for everything natural and political and built it in to a goal for me to achieve by one day becoming part of this awesome community. The people here ARE friendly, but you can tell that you're an outsider until you become a part of it. I am sad to leave tomorrow morning since we have just now started to be recognized and greeted with more sincerity after spending a week here. You see the locals are all family in the way they interact with each other and it makes me wan't to move here and bring something to add to it. I Can tell that once I leave here I will always long to be back.
