Kalapana

Tim and I had ONE day off this past week and we spent the first half in Kalapana. This website has a lot of great information about the flow in the late 80's and early 90's that took over Kalapana. If you have time, I really recommend google imaging 'Kalapana', there are some serious nutty photos of the destruction. Kalapana is super East Big Island, this is where 'virgin air' is known to be, air that has traveled for so long that it is 'new' and the cleanest in the world.

On our way to Kalapana we stopped at the painted church which was pulled from its foundation in the 90's when it was in the path of the lava flow. The church sat on the side of a road for years and then it found its new home basically in the middle of no where.

Outside of this church are some seriously aggressive wasps... I almost died... fo realz.

 Pretending to listen to a sermon...

The second half of the day was spent watching UH's performance of Hairspray! It was great, I LOVE that Tim will willingly and happily see theatre with me... and he loves it. We're a match made in heaven!
