Just got home.
We has a great time.
Long enough to be a little break, short enough not to break the bank.
Weather was mostly rainy and grey, bit we did get some beach time at the black sand beach.
Nanilei slipped (because it was raining and her slippers basically became skates) and her ankle was bothering her afterwards so that scrapped the hike to the green sand beach.
We did go explore where the recent lava happened.
HOLY CRAP!
Unreal.
Just the sheer volume of what is remaining, the height and width of the now solidified river of lava is just staggering.
Our adorable Airbnb was in Nanawale Estates, which is adjacent to Leilani Estates, where the fissure opened last year and swallowed up some 700 homes. We also went down and checked out the new black sand beach, at Isaac Hale Beach Park.
That beach is now a 40 foot tall wall of lava bordering a park and cliffs at the shore, and where the boat ramp and jetty used to be is now a huge black sand beach.
Pele did a lot of remodeling.
