The Big Island

We had a lot of fun on the Big Island. My dear high school friends, Sandy and Bruce, allowed us to stay in their beautiful home. Mahalo!!! Thanks so much for your generosity! I think it is my favorite island. Here Ky, Steff and Al are at the mouth of a beautiful hike to a waterfall. This beautiful view is less than a mile from Bruce and Sandy's house. Imagine seeing that every day!!!! Lucky, lucky lucky!

That is a black sand beach below. Most everyone ran down and then back up one morning. It was straight down a cliff! Black sand is really cool! It is kind of powdery and fine.

Here we are at Akaka Falls.

Kyle slept outside for a couple of nights on this hammock! He thinks it was the best bed in the house. Until he got woken up by an insane rooster!
