Chuck and the Ukulele

Douro

Chuck Monahan plays the ukelele. His passion for this instrument – brought by Portuguese sailors to Hawaii – is visible. As he enjoys a quiet moment looking at the Douro, he calmly plays the ukelele. And suddenly there is a connection to his hometown of Mountain View in California. So close, yet so far away.
