Hawai'i

Yesterday we flew out of Kahului, Maui to Hilo on the island of Hawai'i, which was only a 25 minute flight. We didn't do very much beyond scouting out Hilo and eating some wood-fired oven pizza.

Today we went to the Volcano National Park seeing plumes of sulfufic, ash-filled gases and walking several miles through jungle, a lava tunnel, and devastated landscape. Plus, this evening we drove out to where the lava flows hit the ocean; even though we couldn't get very close we could definatley see the steam that floated hundreds of feet in the air.
