At the end of July we had visitors. Paula, Rod, Gage, Melanie and Craig came
to visit us. While they were here we went to the Big Island. The
Big Island is the biggest island in the Hawaiian Island chain but it only
has 1/3 the population of Oahu (our island).
The Big Island also gets a lot more rain, and is the only island where it
has actually snowed. But the great thing about all the extra rain is it
makes beautiful waterfall.
Could you imagine going over that
waterfall? But they do
make for a perfect photo op.
The main reason we went to the Big Island however, was to see
lava! There is a
road that goes around the Volcano.
Well at least it used to.
In order to get a good look at the lava flow we had to go on a long
hike. A
2 mile long hike over cooled lava.
It was dark by the time we got to the
flowing lava. Which was
perfect timing because it makes for
great pictures. However, these
awesome sites come at a price, IT IS HOT and the sulfur fumes, they had me
coughing. Plus I was sunburn so I couldn't get to close to the lava, but
my loving husband to an Insert Wife
picture so you can just picture me there. :) Good news is Paula, Rod
and Gage where able to pose
together.
The day after we saw the lava flow we went to see the
Crater. It is
HUGE. There is actually a
crater in a crater. Even though
this is the cooled crust if you look real close you can see
red spots from where the heat
has kept the crust cooling all the way. Native Hawaiians still
come here and worship.
