The Rainforest and Volcano
This morning was a day full of sight-seeing, beginning with a very scenic drive. We began by hiking through a rain forest here on the big island. On cue, it was raining the entire time we were in the rain forest! We saw the Akaka Falls, which were incredible. After that we visited Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which included visiting steam vents, and the Halema’uma’u Crater. After that we walked through a lava tube that really looked like a huge cave, but was formed by moving lava. These tubes exist all over the island of Hawaii. The pictures below are of the Akaka Falls and of the volcano.

I am getting more jealous by the day! The view, the food, the sight-seeing.............
Grandma says they told you to take an umbrella........
How do you dry out your shoes after getting soaked?
This trip sounds fabulous so far, and you haven't even made it to Australia!!
you stood by a volcano?
Mom: I did take take an umbrella and my shoes didn't really get wet.
Lexi: Yes, that is a crater, and it is active, but there was no danger. They are always monitoring the seismic activity and predicts eruptions.
Are you sure it was a volcano? It looks more like a giser to me.
