We spent the rest of the day at the house, reading our books (we both finished another one), snacking, getting a little sun and spotting geckos (and their eggs!).
As evening fell, we couldn't help but utilize the hot tub as it had warmed considerably in the afternoon heat. It was a cooker today. We ate our dinner outside. The dining area has mosquito netting all the way around it so if we ever get tired of the bugs we can just zip ourselves up into our own little bubble. The owners also supplied us with candles. There have been few mosquitoes at this house, but the flies and ants are everywhere.
Because we awoke a bit earlier than usual, and plan to wake up early for our road trip tomorrow, we pushed everything up to make for an early night's slumber. We'll see how successful we are in waking up at dawn, though.
I have also discovered another Big Island blog. I saw a sticker for it in Pahoa and decided to check it out. It is called Big Island Chronicle. The author, Tiffany Edwards Hunt, is an accomplished journalist as well as the former legislative aide to the Puna Councilwoman. The writing is sharp, information current and updates often. We've added it to our list of favorites!
