Hilo day 2

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Miles, we didn’t drive, we walked and swam.

I have no idea how to describe today. I am a water baby and love to be in the ocean. My mom is out of practice but thrives when given a challenge. Today was a perfect day. Today we snorkled in the Pacific!

First stop Carlsmith Beach.
Mom hasn’t swam in 40 year’s and she’s never snorkled. We had the best guide ever for her.
I’ve never been so proud. She really went outside her comfort zone so fast and so well.
Our guide, Adam (the best), is on the right, mom in the middle and then my face.
One fish! Two fish!
Next stop is Richardson Beach. Black and green (olavine) sand! And a coconut!
Good spot for a snack and a dip with basalt.
Coral Reef
More fish.
Back to school rush.
Just keep swimming.
I’m just a big fish swimming with smaller fish. 🐡🐠🐟🤙
Open to any suggestions on what mom found outside the dive shop?
Then had lunch at this wonderful establishment.
With a view…
… and a free lychee drink.
And where we realized I was too happy to care that my dress was inside out.
A quick dip in the pool.
Then studied the flowers around the pool🌺
Pretty!
We found out it was a papaya tree! The next adventure will contain volcano activity. 🌋🌋🌋
