Waipi'o Valley and Hilo

It may seem I've been slacking off on updates here, but the reality of it is that there hasn't been much to report during the week. Friday, however, we went to Waipi'o Valley to hike to Hi'ilawe Falls (1,200' to 1,600', depending on whom you ask). We got a bit lost and ended up not making it to the falls, but we had fun trying and will try to give it another go in the future. Pictures are here.

We went to Hilo on Saturday and saw some paintings by Roy Ruiz, who is here at Kalani, and stopped by a Kava bar for a drink. Photos here.

The plan for Sunday is to head down the road to view the lava flows. I will be sure to post an update on that soon!
