Thar She Blows

As you can see, paradise. This is the beach behind our hotel.

We had another wonderful day made even better by spending it with Johnny and Dianne. We met at the trailhead for the Puako petroglyphs. It was an easy, 1.4 mile hike through the lava fields to an area of petroglyphs carved into the lava rock. Most of the trail was shaded by scrubby thorn trees that are very similar to mesquite or acacia trees.


The trail ended at the beach near our hotel so we made the short walk back to the beach restaurant/bar. As it was high noon, we decided to enjoy drinks, appetizers, and lunch.


We spent a relaxing hour snacking when Johnny spotted the first whale. Several whales were moving by, some just blowing a cloud of mist into the air and others leaping half out of the water with a great splash (and applause from our fellow diners).

After our repast we walked to D&J's car and they drove us to several of their favorite beaches. Most were closed due to high waves but it was still fun to see the crashing waves and hang out with the two of them.
