Another day in paradise. Today we headed west into the mountains to Waimea Canyon State Park. Michael called it Dramamine day. We took the slow winding road up the mountain and the fast steep way down. Michael said it was his first time driving on the crest of a mountain. The weather cooperated and no rain or clouds.
First stop Waimea Canyon Lookout. Elevation 3400 feet. Waimea is called a canyon of many colors.
Michael thought this was funny, a phone booth. Who carries change anymore? But it was rather important because there is no cell service on the mountain.
Next stop Na Pali Kona. This part of the canyon we can see the ocean. Pu'u O Kila, the hill of Chief Kila.
Third stop Kalalau lookout. Kalalau Valley along the Napali Coastline. Elevation about 5000 feet.
I thought this was an interesting tree.
Back down at sea level, adding to my list of library photos. The sign said it was open but it wasn't, par for the course on Hawaii.
Our fair-weather friend by the pool.
Lilikoi passion fruit is our new food for this trip. We have had scones made with it (our favorite), Michael made these pancakes this morning for breakfast (we have a kitchenette) and I bought some shortbread cookies for when we get home.
