If you have the time, pick up "Shark Dialogues" by Kiana Davenport. It's a great read about Hawaii.

I can't wait to go again. We have friends in the Pahoa area. Your pictures might just be the kick I need to get over there.
Our friends are from the Pahoa area as well. So is their farm. My husband said he is amazed your dh made up that mountain of a road.
