Kona update

It is raining in Kona.  That is pretty unusual as it only rains about 10 inches a year here.  The windward side of the Island (Hilo) gets much more, something like 80 inches.  I like the dry but enjoy the occasional rain.  It really smells good and reminds me of my youth in the Arizona desert during a rain.

We had a great snorkel day today at Kahaluu or snorkel beach.  There were some strong currents but the water was very clear as usual.  While looking at a hiding eel we were almost run over by a young turtle.  We followed him or her awhile and took some pics.  Jane got a great video.  They are so graceful and beautiful to watch swim.  Then Jane saw a snowflake eel out of the rocks.  All in all a great snorkel day!!  A couple of days ago we also saw a squid, the first one here.  We also went to the “Painted Church”  this was from around 1902 and was a Maryknoll mission.  Beautiful setting and interesting place.

    How was Two Step this past weekend? I thought maybe these pictures were taken there. I sure do miss it. I’m glad you’re still posting pics and comments.
