Wow 6 years already! It is a little crazy to me that on our 6th Anniversary we are back on the Big Island. I always told Pat that Angela would have to make it to the Ironman Here to get me back on the big Island. Pat owes her a big thank you. Well so do I . . .
THANK YOU ANGELA!!!
We are celebrating with an interesting combination of one of my favorite activities (hiking) and one of Pat's favorite things (Volcanoes). The morning was spent at the local farmers market. The BEST find on the island. It was small but loaded with prepared meals, fresh fruits and vegetables. They were at great prices and it saved us the truble of cooking and cleaning. My favorite buy of the day was my purple sweet potatoes.
After puting the food away we vent over to Volcanoes National park. We had to spend some time hiding from the rain in the visiters center but it gave us time to fill out the necessary paperwork (for the hike) and looking over the educational displays. Once the rain let up a little we took the oppurtunity and hiked the Napau Trail over the lava fields. This took us to the Pu'u Huluhulu look out. We went on a little further just because we could. It was a nice 3+ mile hike where we got a pretty good view of the surrounding lava fields. It was nice that some of the trail went through the surviving forest. It gave me a nice break from the lava.
Dinner was at a nice Thi resteraunt. I even liked Pat's dish. This was unusual because it has nuts in it, I love nuts just not in dinner foods.
