Su Really Missed Us

Hosted by Tony

Next: Back To Halema'uma'u

 

SU! Su! Su! She came to visit us in Puna. She missed us that much.

Now we are assuming that you have read our travels up to date but if you haven't, well, Tiki Jr. and I visited Su in Oceanside New York several months ago. Here's that travel entry.

The shot above was taken at the end of the day so we all look horrid...hehehe.

Su is a super cool lady so we all spent the day checking out...

 

First stop...Punalu'u Black Sand Beach Park! Yep it's actually black sand.

 

Green Sea Turtles often sun themselves on this beach. See the one in the background?

Su & family walked around in amazement at the black sand, something they certainly haven't seen on Long Island. Actually the description of the beach nearest to them kinda bummed us out. Come on people lets quite polluting the beaches! Sheesh!

 

Wierdness...number 2. Ok, I guess it's not so weird when it happens a couple times.

As we strolled down the beach we were approached by the family above. We had our picture taken with them at Rainbow Falls a few days ago. Visiting from Southern Cali we have on the left Bruce, Donna, Sam & Jessie.

We quickly realized that when you are on the tourist circuit there is a good chance you will run across the same people at various locations. May be a good reason to smile at everyone.

 

RG as black & white on black sand!

 

After we had spent about 45 minutes here we decided it was time to head on back to Volcanoes National Park to see a few things we missed a few days ago.
