Andre and I landed safely in Hilo last night. We were exhausted after being cooped up in airports and planes ALL day. We got the car, a four wheel Ford Focus, and checked in at Uncle Billy’s. Two great rooms across the hall from each other. Right on the bay. I went to sleep to tree frogs croaking and the sound of the surf. We went for a walk (in the rain/mist. There is water everywhere, ponds, ocean, water from the sky. I wish California had some of this. Today is a beautiful day to start our adventure, farmers market and some geneological hunting for the mysterious Laura Becquette, my great aunt, who came to Hawaii in the Late 1800’s.
The photo was taken from the balcony of my room.
