Volcano, etc. . .

Sorry I haven't written for several days. On the 22nd, we mainly visited the few attractions of Volcano, HI. First, we walked down the street from Volcano Inn, where we were staying, to Volcano Garden Arts which is basically a craft store surrounded by several decorated garden paths. It had very beautifully handcrafted jewelry, sculptures, and masks. Later, we visited a hand blown glass store and workshop called 2400 Fahrenheit. The couple wasn't blowing glass that morning because they had been gone to a craft fair on the mainland and it takes almost a week to heat up the furnace, but she showed us around the equipment, telling us stories about the work they create and the business they run. We saw their store and marvelled at the magnificent pieces of colourful artwork. We ate some more pizza and, of course, it rained.
