 ATTENDED THE KONA TEMPLE -DID AN ENDOWNMENT SESSION

 SIGHT SEEING AT SOME VERY BLUE WATER AND BEACHES

 THE SUNRISES AS WERE AS MAGNIFICENT AS THE SUNSETS

 ON THE BOAT GETTING READY TO FIND AND SWIM WITH DOLPHINS

 JUST A PRETTY TIME OF THE DAY

 442 FT WATER FALLS HARDLY HAD TO HIKE FAR TO SEE IT

 BEAUTIFUL COASTAL VIEW ON ONE OF OUR HIKES--IT WAS BREATH TAKING

 HARD TO SEE BUT IF YOU LOOK CLOSE YOU'LL SEE ONE OF THE DOLPHINS WE SWAM WITH IN THE OCEAN  THE POD HAD APPROX.  60-70 DOLPHINS AROUND

 MAGIC EVERY WHERE YOU LOOKED

 TRIED THE LOCAL FOOD...PORK WRAPPED AND COOKED 8 HRS IN SEAWEED AND THEN INSIDE SPINICH AROUND THE FISH AND PORK 1/2 AND 1/2

 LOOKING AT SOME ANCIENT HUTS..(REBUILT) SITTING ON LAVA ROCK

 NICE SUNNY OPEN CLEAN --PLACE WE STAYED CLOSE TO THE BEACH

 A MORNING STROLL

 MOMS FAVORITE  (SHARKS COVE) I KNOW THE REAL NAME OF THE BEACH NOW

 A BLOW HOLE--MEMORIZED US FOR A LONG TIME

 EATING OUT IN THE EVENING AND SITTING OUTSIDE TO EAT WAS FUN

 THE WATER IS SO VERY BLUE AND AQUA MARINE BLUE--UN REAL

 A STROLL BY THE FERNS UP LAIE FALLS TRAIL  ONE OF MY FAVORITE

 WHAT IS HAWAII WITHOUT A BIKE RIDE? ON A COASTER BIKE
