Heading to Hilo....again

A cold front had moved through the Hawaiian Islands last week and it snowed on the top of both Mauna Kea (first photo) and Mauna Loa (second photo with lava in front).

The third photo shows some of the cinder cones left behind by Mauna Kea in past eruptions. They themselves look like mini cone volcanos. One is supposed to have a small lake atop it, a left over remnant from previous ice age!

We drove over to Hilo to go to the Lyman museum...photos to follow. The museum portrayed many historical objects and stories of Hawaii as well as a vast shell collection, and rock and gem collection besides Hawaiiana. We more or less spent the day and will go back to tour through the Farmers Market as well as the Tsunami museum, possibly Saturday.
