Today was a VERY exciting day! We were ambitious and decided to take Doris and Jerry on the volcano trip because the weather forecast for it was a 7 out of 10 and every other day that they’ll be here was only a 5. It was PERFECT! We did all the falls on the way, as well as Waipio Valley lookout and even saw whales breaching from Waipio Valley lookout! Rainbow Falls was nearly dry, so that was a little disappointing, but still amazing. The pictures today are of the grandfather of all banyan trees in my opinion. The first one shows the main tree, but then I got it with its extension in the next one.
The last picture is of the volcano surface flow that we caught. I hope you can click on the picture and see it bigger so that you’ll see the flow coming off the side of the cliff right in the middle of the picture. The steam is where the flow is going into the water. We could see the red with our naked eyes from where we were standing. The part coming off the cliff is just a little red spot, but that’s the flow. We’ve never seen it there before without hiking the 3 miles out there, so this was quite a treat! We saw it coming down the side of the mountain, too. It was AWESOME. Doris and Jerry were thrilled with their day, but they are ready for an easy day tomorrow . . . and forever after this. J
We’re glad to be home safe and sound, and we counted our blessings all the way there and back. We know that we are so blessed to have the opportunity to be here; to see the wonders; and to be able to walk all we need to walk. God is so good! I thank Him most for the people in our lives; I believe He puts us with the people we need most. I love you all; forgive me if this is too short. I’m happily beat.
