Week 17 Lava Lave Big Island Drama

Lava viewing is a spiritual experience.  The journey is sacred and connects you to Hawaii like nothing else.  You will realize that you are watching a new island literally being formed right before your eyes.  Hawaiian legend says, the goddess Pele lives in the volcano and it is important to bring her an offering when you go to visit.  Needless to say, I forget mine and angered Pele, she took my camera.  I will never make that mistake again!

Week 16 Happy Anniversary

Nothing like spending your anniversary on a surf board.  Awesome waves!  We called earlier in the trip to surf and there were not waves.  Really, it is Hawaii, how can their be no waves in the area.  Finally, a nice earthquake send some waves and the vibe was electric.  Kona comes alive when the waves hit.  People run, walk, hitch hike, whatever they have to do to get to the ocean to surf.  It was an amazing experience.
