I just noticed that it's the 100th post, I suppose that's some type of milestone. Hawaii is going well. I'm still looking for work and applying for jobs I finally took some pictures of our short term apartment and also the surrounding neighborhood. I'll take some pictures of Hilo and the Farmer's Market soon.
Here is Honoli'i Beach, the best surf spot on the East side of the island and its about 3/4 mile from our place. We stopped there one evening to eat some chocolate and watch the surfers for a bit. There's supposed to be a surf competition there this weekend and we'll stop to watch if it's going on.
Surfer.
I thought this was cool, just sitting in a little planter right outside our door were these little pineapples, I had never even noticed them. Pineapples are little aloe looking bushes that grow on the ground and each plant produces about 1 pineapple a year.
On to the apartment! Here's our little kitchen...with no oven or range! I've had to be quite the creative cook, working with an electric fry pan and two rice cookers, but it's actually been fun.
Here's the little bedroom.
We went to the Farmer's Market this past Saturday and bought a ton of stuff, both Lindsey and I love to see the fridge look like this. Almost everything we bought was locally grown or locally made.
This flower is growing on a fence right outside of our house, there are a ton of really beautiful and different plants growing all over the place, it's really neat.
This is a view of Mauna Kea, the tallest mountain on the island at over 13,000 feet. The volcano is famous for all the observatories on top, which you can just barely see. Also, there is an observation area about 8'ooo feet up with a visitors center and you can go up at night and have some of the best star viewing on earth.
View of the ocean about 20 feet down the road from our apartment. We live about 200 meters from the water (I didn't even touch up the color of the water).
