Last Week on the Big Island

On our last week here, we were able to do a little bit of last minute exploring, spend some time with our friends Dani and Ricky, and work on another farm for a few days. 

Volcanoes 2.0

As our new friends had not been to see the lava, we had to take them. The word was that the lava flow we had witnessed last time had reached all the way to the coast. We hiked the 8+ mile trek with our friends and reached the spot. The road had been covered by the lava, and when we walked over toward the water, there were areas where we could feel the heat, and others where we could look through a crack in the ground and see orange. The lava was flowing underneath our feet! Again, this park is not how most parks are, with signs and rules everywhere, so a part of the adventure was you could misstep and lose a limb. 

Farm #2

We ended up spending the last few days at a dragonfruit farm! While Andrea and I are both keen on animals, plants are pretty great too, and if you have not tried dragonfruit, I highly recommend it. Sweet, just like our hosts. 

Here is the dragonfruit flower. Behold its beauty!
