Hilo, Hawaii


At Volcano National Park. Our kids--and some Semester at Sea students--enjoy the steam coming up through the earth. In the third photo, the large crater with the active volcano is almost visible



We hiked through a rainforest to a "Lava Tube", a cave made by molten lava a long time ago. The boys hang out on the Lava Flow, which stretched for miles.



The highlight of a rather lengthy luau were the chanters and dancers from Lap and the Somoan singers and dancers. Before the luau, hosted by Univ of Hawaii at Hilo students, we toured the campus. We were glad to finally sample "poi", but won't need to do that again.

Back home on the ship: our balcony is third from the right.
