Hawaii 2009 February
This is where we are staying. It's a bit of a fixer upper but not so bad when it isn't raining and you don't mind the bugs...Just kidding.
The shack is actually an abandon house along the highway. Abandon houses get overgrown and disintegrate rapidly here. We are staying in the center of the old part of Honoanou which has become quite overgrown.
So here is where we are really staying. Much better and not so many dang bugs...
We are eating fresh fruit, avocados, Macadamia nuts and yams every day. Karl just peeled a bunch of oranges, tangerines, and a grapefruit to have with our breakfast. The neighbors grow coffee.
After a hard day of picking fruit and nuts; playing Irish tunes and preparing fabulous meals Denise deserves a rest.
This is an ugli fruit. Isn't it pretty? Denise picked it off a tree. The inside is very much like an orange.This fruit's destiny will be a smoothie.
The Avacados are awesome and large here. That is what is on the right side of the ugli fruit.
The fruit on the left is called a sapodilla. At least that is our best guess we will confirm that soon.
Food is a good thing. Eat.
Well we felt so much better after a nap and farm food we hiked the trail from Honaunau bay to Kiilae bay.
We hiked through the "Place of Refuge", so named because any one sentenced to death that made it to this place was spared. I hope it is retroactive, you know, just in case something happens and we are sentenced...
It was a bit warm, but a nice 5 mile hike in the sun mostly. Despite my the suffering I experienced from lack of caffeine, I endured the entire trek
Notice all the black rocks. Volcano rock. It is everywhere.
Yet more black rock. In fact this whole trail was actually constructed by Hawaiians very long ago. They also constructed stone walls along the trail. and there are many sacred sites along it.

Despite the lava rock I still manage to
JUGGLE HAWAII
That is all for now. Maybe more later
