Hästa Does Hilo

Our day in Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii today was rainy (not surprising, since they get almost 140 inches of rain a year!).We walked in the warm Hawaiian rain for almost 5 miles, into the town of Hilo (pop. 42,000) and around the streets where the locals live. The black sand along the shore and the huge Banyan trees were awesome.
We bought flowers for our room at the outdoor market- $5 for a stunning tropical arrangement!
