How tired we are! But we’ve had a great day. Today was volcano day. Wow! What a day! It’s about 2 ½ hours to drive to the Volcano National Park from here. So just the drive is tiring, but beautiful! We stopped on the way at the ‘Sea Gem’ beach; sure enough tide was out and we were able to get a few gems. I hope we’ll get more next time we go with Tom and Linda. We have a good start and it was a fun and new adventure for Steve and Mary.
We went on a bird hike looking for birds up near the Volcano and it rained on us the whole way. It rained from then on all day. It never poured down rain, just a drizzle. It was enough to keep us wet and cold all day. Yes, cold. We got our clothes wet at the beach getting sea gems, then we never got dry after that, so we chilled all day.
The volcano was awesome, though. So much that we’ve seen on previous trips was closed due to recent activity. We got to see whole new things, though. My camera didn’t get good pictures, but Steve did. I’ll share those soon.
Tonight’s picture is of Don and I as we crashed for supper at Ken’s Pancake House in Hilo around 8 tonight. We started at 6:30 this morning, so we were really tired. We’re even more tired, now. I thank God so much for the opportunity to have these experiences and for the health and strength to do it. We are so blessed to have wonderful friends with whom we can share the fun, too.
