The Starretts had a family only day today. We turned left instead of right at our road and drove East towards Hilo, the other large town on the Island. The landscape was completely different - very green, rainforest, trees - a complete contrast to the dry grass and lava on the Kona side. We stopped on the way at the Akaka falls for a look. I thought it was pretty spectacular - a 400 foot drop down to a pool, but the boys were unimpressed. Tough crowd. Hilo was about another 20 minutes down the road. It is small, quiet and old but we had a nice wander and lunch stop. The boys found a cute candy shop that sold bacon soda (by all reports disgusting, but I could not bring myself to try it) and peanut butter and jelly soda. I did try this one - not a good taste.
Dinner was a pasta bake made by Maria and pumpkin pie made by Marilyn.
