November 2016: Island Life

Some words to explain eight days on the island of Hawai'i:

Dried sharp black lava everywhere

Low to mid 80s, slight breeze, warm rain

Two lane highways, roundabouts, tight parking lots, few bikes or buses

Colorful birds, hanging hibiscus, green jungle plants, no snakes

Invasive species like mongoose, wild pigs, coqui frogs, albizia trees

Fun fruits, fresh fish, over-priced organics

 Black & brown sand beaches, some nudists, sea turtles

Active volcanos, 13K ft. mountains, big waves

 Many Asian cultures, haole (white people), locals

And some sights:
