Hilo, etc. . .

Today we just checked out Hilo and the surrounding area. We looked into a greenhouse full of orchids, toured the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory, and visited a really neat little zoo called Pana'ewa. This afternoon we drove down to the Black Sand Beaches outside of Punalu'u watching the surf on the rocks and the turtles in the ocean & on the beach. That's me on the beach!
