Hawai`i 2009: Day 16

This morning Dan did a little snorkeling while I watched. I get a little nervous when he goes too far out, but he assures me it's all safe. After he showered up, we headed to Pahoa for another stop at Sirius Coffee. I guess the service - and iced coffee - was just that good!



From there we drove up the road to the Sunday Farmer's Market. Just as we pulled in to park our car, it started to pour rain. As we were in tank tops, we were startled and for the first time on this trip, a bit chilly! We cut the trip short after picking up some food items we needed, and this t-shirt I spotted last Sunday and decided I needed:



Since we didn't stop at the farmer's market food court this time, we were famished by the time we got home from all our grocery shopping. We wolfed down some hot dogs and then settled in to another sunny afternoon in the yard.

Three essentials for survival on the Big Island: sunscreen, insect repellant and water.



We have been visited by a mongoose several times, and this morning Dan spotted this neighborhood cat.



After the usual reading/running/swimming it was a tasty dinner and more True Blood. We are down to the last three episodes. We are enjoying the show very much, but it leaves us a bit spooked as we go to bed--especially with all the strange noises we hear.
