This is a beach in Pololu valley in Kohala on the north end of the island.  Awesome beach with lots of driftwood and washed up nets.

We managed to cobble together this beauty.  My friends named it something that had cultural relevance, but I'm ignorant that - so I can't tell you its name.

Putting our pride and joy out to sea.  It was pretty rough and eventually she broke up on the rocks.  This was just as well - there were jellyfish in the water!

Here I am next to lava.  We got real close.  And I fell down on the cool stuff - just like glass that stuff is.  I don't have any pictures of the blood, but it was impressive.
