Hawai'i

     Hawai'i is probably the best place on Earth. Don't tell anyone because it's already crowded with enough tourists. But seriously, tropical locations are the best. Perfect temperature. The water is perfect to swim in. There are hardly even many mosquitoes in Hawai'i. And the island itself is very peaceful and without strife. I remember when I was younger my family vacationed in Turks and Caicos in the Caribbean. The native poor populations are mostly blacks, while the tourists were all affluent Asians/Whites. So there is some understandable animosity. What wasn't understandable was when one of them tried to run me over with a go-cart and I had to jump out of the way, and as I did he yelled out, "Is okay mon!"

     Anyway, here is Hawai'i (the big island) goodness.

The view from the backyard of our rented house.

The clouds were below the heights of Mauna Kea.

Kamehameha the Great, inventor of the Kamehameha Wave.

The Kīlauea Caldera

Inside a volcanic crater. 

Like entering a fantasy world.

The overlook over Polulu valley.



Wild horses! I zoomed in. Word of advice, don't get near wild horses. They can be dangerous.

Now back to writing!
