NOT EXACTLY A LUAU: Nobody expects a porcine exhibition, least of all one celebrating the aloha spirit, in the Arizona desert. Yet Honolulu residents Marion and Ernest Yuasa, above, discovered just that in Sedona, Ariz., during a Wai­pahu High School class reunion trip. The sculpture of two jave­li­nas (skunk pigs) dressed in aloha attire was part of a Sedona arts festival called Jave­li­nas on Parade. The display was titled “Have-Aloha.” “It was wonderful to see that even amongst the red rocks of Sedona, the aloha spirit was being spread,” said Marion.
