Sketchy weather...But, life is good...Two weeks so far on the Big Island...A year ago...Invaders for the day!
There's never a shortage of visitors sitting in lounge chairs enjoying the views, as shown in the right in this photo. |
At the time we booked this first three bedroom ocean front house, fairly affordable considering the proximity to the sea, we knew that this side of the island had a propensity for gloomy weather at times. Also, at that point two years ago not all of our family committed to being able to come.

Another vegetation lined narrow road we traveled. |
We were faced with a total of 14 of us, with 10 planned for this house and four for the house next door, according to our rental agreement. As the six of us have lived in this three bedroom house for these past eight days, we've come to realize that this house is too small for three families.
Various stations are set up for hikers wanting to explore the lava laden area. |
See Tom in the bottom right of this photo? We were checking out the information for the lava hike, not necessarily interested in doing this. |
Alternate view of the lava covered hiking area. |
I imagine our readers may have become bored with our seeming endless photos of rocky lava shorelines. But, each one looks unique to us as we wander about the island. |
Its a good plan. We're excited to have had the cooperation of the owner next door allowing us to add two more to our rental agreement giving everyone the much needed space.
This small house at Isaac Hale Beach has been owned for generations by a Hawaiian family. |
Interesting driftwood. |
Happy Monday to all.

Early in the morning we wandered outsie to the veranda, coffee and laptops in hand. Within minutes, we were surrounded by baboons. Their visit taught us a few lessons about how to handle them to prevent future visits. It was an interesting day to say the least. For details, please click here. |
