sunset dinner
A day of relaxation.
Deb and Rebecca went up to Hapuna Beach, about 30 miles north of Kona. They swam and relaxed on this beach recommended by Dr. Beach.
Sarah and Sarah went to the beach at Pu’uhonua o Honaunau, right next to the Place of Refuge national historical park. They snorkeled and swam and relaxed.
Chris and Ed stayed at the hotel and did the pool, beach and bay. They also heard a 30 minute presentation about the historical significance of the hotel, its origins, and its ties to King Kamehameha (after all it is the Courtyard King Kamehameha). It did suffer damage from the tusnami caused by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Fortunately the bad incident helped generate a number of improvements to the hotel. The hotel acts as a repository of Hawaiian native artifacts and paintings.
We gathered for our last family dinner in Kona. Off to Volcanoes National Park Tuesday am.
