Hawaii is still going great! Here is a pic of our potluck we had for when two of our therapists were leaving. I made pasta salad and Erin made fruit pizza. We definitley stuffed ourselves and enjoyed socializing with everyone at lunch.
Last weekend we ate at Hawaiian Style Cafe. We were told about how big the portions were but I was shocked on how big the pancakes were! The food was great and needless to say, I had plenty of leftovers to take home!
And I know some of you guys think we don't work here in Hawaii so here is a pic of us at work :-)
On Wednesday we went to the Kalapana Night Market with a few co-workers. It was about a 35 minute drive down south of Hilo. Before we explored the market, we went to the Kaimu Black Sand Beach which is just to the left of the market. Before it got dark, we walked through the lava rock to get to the beach. The view was beautiful. The tide was high so the water came all the way up to the rocks that we were standing on. They said when the tide is low, that you can walk on the beach. There is a picture that shows some of the black sand. It was very peaceful! We then went and explored the market. It is like a farmers market with music, entertainment, shopping, and lots of food! We had a blast looking at all the booths and eating some great food! We will probably be visiting the market again soon!
Saturday morning we went to Honoka'a. We had heard that there was a store named Tex Drive In. They are known for their Malasadas. They are amazing donuts and you can get them filled with different flavors. I got one without any filling and then one filled with strawberry! They were delicious. Erin had one plain and one with apple and she said hers were great too! It was definitely worth the hour drive.
After stuffing our faces with Malasadas we headed up to Waipio Valley to see the amazing view we have heard so much about. It was a great view and so peaceful to look out over the water. I am glad we went!
