From here we headed to Hawk and out to the eastern cliffs…

Sunnyish Monday Morning…

Hawaii 2011 0975Looks like it might be a nicer day today, but it is hard to tell from our vantage point of an ocean front room (hard to see the clouds on the mountains).  So, I think we are headed on a ride around the south end of the island over to Volcano Park and Hilo today…
