The back side of Hana

I would have stayed longer at the black rock beach.  As we drove into the state park, it seemed like Araknsas. I remember drivbig to a swimming hole as a kid there and seeing this type of folage and "look". Scott got a humougous shave ice from a family trying to make a living. THe family was hanging out and just waiting for customers. We climed up to the rocks, and looked at the blow hole, took pictures off the side and hiked to the beach. Familys were in teh water with a stronge current. I kept getting nervous at the young girls that were pulled out and out time after time. What if? I wondered. The beach was steep and sloped so it wasn't a play beach. THe surface was made of millions of tiny black rocks the size of marbles or smaller. Cool.
We explored a lava tube that came out in the sea and hiked back up to through the camp grounds. We looked at a cemetary and some other exploring and left. I could have stayed all day.

THen we were at another stop for lunch.

Some locals were camping her for fun and I wondered how they felt about all the tourists. Love, Laugh or Hate?
