Toured the middle southern portion of the Island today, we left the house about 7:00 and headed over highway 2000 to the Kona side, was quite a climb and was not sure the hoopty rental car was going to make it over the hill - stupid 4 banger Chrysler. Anyways as soon as we crested the top the rain stopped and the sun came out, I thought our central coast of CA was the only place that micro climates existed, they are alive and doing well here in HI. We continued down the west side of the Island and stopped in Koalapehunkai (just kidding made that word up) walked around some shops and had some Mexican food, ya Mexican food in Hawaii go figure, wasn't the best but have had worst. browsed a farmers market and bought some amazing Macadamia Brittle, Mmm Soooo good, sorry guys I ate it all. We got back in the car anxious to find a beach and enjoy the water and sunshine, found one about 10 min from first stop, Mom wanted to lay on the beach and monitor Jessica via cell phone so I dawned the flippers and mask and headed out to scare some fish. This location was just ok as far as snorkeling goes, not to deep but had a fare amount of fish, A few I had not seen when we were in Kauai. Looking at the map we decided that we would continue along highway 11 all the way home, heading over took about 2 hrs and from our last stop it took about the same.
So tomorrow is shoes and shirts day, we will head up to Volcano National Park and see if can experience some Lava, Melissa want to go check out the Lava Tubes, yup BYOF (bring your own flashlight) got the cameras charging and hope to get some good pictures.
One more thing the Frogs around this house are amazing, not all your typical Rib-bit they almost sound like a bird, if we leave a window open at night the Surf and the frogs get rather loud, kind of soothing in a strange way
