Kahua, Honokaa, Waimea

Today I headed out to Honokaa for the Kahua workshop for teachers new to the island. Two hours in the car enjoying the surrounding scenery.

The day went by quickly. It was fun and definitely helpful. I even learned some Hawaiian. On the way home, I could see the Keck telescopes up on Mauna Kea. Sweet. I stopped in Waimea, a small ranch town. Waimea does not have stop signs, instead they have WHOA. I went to the beach and found seashells. I accidentally brought home a mini crab.

Tomorrow I get to do it all again. Up at 5ish to catch the bus by 6:15 to go up to Honokaa for day 2. When I leave tomorrow, I will be $250 richer.

I have a message for everyone.


Some pictures taken today:

Clouds cover the mountain. The mountain is erupting.





In Waimea, there are decorated honu (turtle) in the food court.


WHOA = Stop



The Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea. Two of the world's largest telescopes are up there. There is snow on this volcano in the winter
.



Stop at Old Airport Beach for seashell hunting for Haley.
