While my mom was in town we decided to do some looking around. We stopped at this place, which is a short distance south of Kona, near Capt. Cook. It's a state park, and it has some really great history that I will share with you in another post. But the place was beautiful. When you walk up, there are several little stops with hand carved figures and things, and a recording of what took place here over the last several hundred years.
This will give you an idea of what the Big Island looks like. Notice the small volcano to the left (Hualalai, where we live) and the two larger ones, Mauna Kea on top and Mauna Loa below it. There is also a gecko on the wall just above the island.
This place is well maintained, and all of the sand is raked everyday. It is absolutely beautiful.
There are several replicas of ancient Hawaiian homes on the property. It is amazing what they used to construct out of wood and palm fronds.
They are all open to the weather for the most part, which allows that nice breeze to come in and keep you cool.
This is where Stacey and I live. We like it. A little cluttered, though. (just kidding!)
Next post will be about the history of this spot, and why they call it the "Place of Refuge."
