Day 5 Hawaii 5/7 April 10 2006 |
There’s always good days and always bad
days and this day was kind of in
between. We woke up and almost
immediately got in the car and started
to drive to the volcano. But, the route
apparently wasn’t Mango Hale – Volcano
we stopped in a bunch of places. Our
first stop was at a coffee place where
we thought we were just getting coffee.
First when we walked through the door
the adults got samples of Kona coffee
and the owner showed us how he roasted
the coffee.First he picks the beans,
then he puts them in this roaster, then
he mixes them and cools them, and
finally he bags them. We were there for
a while and the idea of snow cones came
up so we bought some, But this wasn’t
snow cone ice this was real shaved ice
which is like fluff it’s really good.
Afterwards, he asked us if we liked
fruit of course we said yes we walked
down a hill and watched him pick oranges
and papayas we walked up the hill again
and ate the papayas with lemon juice
drizzled on them, I’ve never had a fruit
so delicious. We finally got to the
volcano which I’ve already been to
before, it was just a big hole, a
BIG
hole.
Then
we got to Holly and Robert’s house, had
supper and went to bed in a side house.

Day 6 in Hawaii 6/7 April 11 2006 |
Today, we woke up
in the tea house and went to have breakfast
at the 50’s café which was really neat and
had a sign outside that said “Lost dog, 3
legs, no right ear, broken tail, blind in
one eye, goes by the name of Lucky.” We sat
around the table and told stories and jokes.
The owner of the restaurant survived the
tsunami in the year of 1946 because he was
late for school. After breakfast we went
back to Holly and Roberts and walked to a
waterfall while dad and John fixed a
generator. The water was so pretty I took a
closer look and kind of fell in kind of on
purpose and started to swim.
Afterwards we went to a place called Waipio
Valley where I rolled down a grass hill
which somehow irritated my skin and I had a
rash until we got home and I took a shower.
We had dinner and I fell asleep. |
