The lava fields were amazing. They looked like mud, but it was all black rock. Here, I am standing where the lava nearly crossed the road. Needless to say... no one drives this road anymore. The lava took out a village, but nearby, several houses were left standing... and the people still live in them. Imagine having this as your front yard!
We stayed with friends who have a beautiful house in Hilo. So fresh pineapple and papaya was on the menu everyday as well as gigantic avocadoes!
We also spent one afternoon in a mini submarine, looking at the underwater reef... and another afternoon looking for whales from a sail boat. We found a female whale with her calf... all we saw was a giant flipper and a few tail slaps. But it was fun.
