Hilo, Hawaii USA

 Hilo, Hawaii  USA   April 17, 2025

In preparation of landing in Hawaii, the ship had lots of activities that would educate passengers and allow exploration into the Hawaiian culture.

Above is a ukulele and hula dancing demonstration.

I practiced playing the ukulele several times and enjoyed playing in the show.

The Hawaiian staff leader preformed during the demonstration.

 The volcanic mountain that is still very active.

Our rented wheels for the day.

                      Interesting how plants grow between the rocks.

Lava field

A structure built in dedication to the volcano goddess of fire, Pele, at least in Hawaiian mythology according to Native Books.

 

We visited our good friend, Phil Johnson’s lot that he purchased back in the70’s. This is his neighbor.

                                              This is his lot….

                                               all grown up.

When returning the car back to the airport, I found this welcoming sign.
