Aloha Day 9

Hey! I suddenly realized that because of uploading and travel and General Life Stuff, I never did finish my travelogue of Hawai'i. Only got to Day 8.

So, here's Day 9. Or rather, part of Day 9. Day 9 was busy. It was the day that we did the driving tour the concierge at the resort suggested, going up the northern coast of Hawai'i's Big Island and around the tip and then back through the mountains. We saw ruins and monuments and sand and cliffs and greenery and more sand and of course, lots and lots and lots of lava :)

( Lots and lots of files. Um, I mean, pix. Name that quote. )

Aloha, Day 9 pt 2

Toldja it was a long trip. Here's where we went up around the horn of the Big Island, and learned what they meant by "there's 11 types of ecosystems in the world, and the Big Island has nine of them."

( From scrub to jungle, Kamehameha, and How Green Was My Valley )

Aloha, Day 9 pt 3

... yes, it's still Day 9.
( Yea, though I walk to the valley of the shadow... )

Aloha Day 10

Our last day. We mostly just ( hung out in Waikoloa, went to the beach, saw a few of the ruins close by our hotel )
