So cute! She gets food, affection, praise from strangers, old and young alike. We went to Lowe's and were promptly informed that the lumber department has milk bones. People pour out their heart about their last dog that she reminds them of. Susan, the nice lady who runs the cafe downstairs, gives her soup, pieces of meat and coldcut. Nice life, huh?
I think her name is Keo. She is only 7 months old here. Swimming with dolphins is an incredible experience, well worth the wait and time spent. We decided if our kids get into Harvard, we will reward them with a dolphin swim!
The dolphin swimming lagoon is located at the Hilton, which we loved and wished we had stayed at. Typical for Hilton, well situated, top amenities and divine artwork. This is also where our friends Jesse & Rochelle got married. Here, Jeff is in front of bronze horse statues.
I am tucking in to a traditional Taiwanese shave ice - sweet azuki beans with mochi balls and topped with condensed sweetened milk. Yum!
One of our favorite food indulgences is shave ice and this is our favorite joint, popular with locals and tourists alike. We love it so much that we went to both outposts in one day. I love the ling hing mui (sour plum powder) honey syrup with lilikoi cream and condensed milk to top it off. This combination makes Jeff gag.
This scenery is typical of the Big Island - formed by lava meeting ocean. We were thrilled to be upgraded to an ocean view room at our hotel.
