Friday Fotos — Lapahoehoe on the Big Island beckons

August 11, 2017 By Terry

Lapahoehoe on the Big Island beckons

Beautiful blue waters at Lapahoehoe on the Big Island
Lapahoehoe is an absolutely gorgeous place where serenity seems to hang in the air. Inner peace in a place with a tragic past.

During our trip to Lapahoehoe on the Big Island I wandered to the south side of the park. This gorgeous bay, with its blue waters, white surf, and green hills seemed so idyllic. With all this serenity, it’s hard to believe this is the site of a tsunami that took the lives of school children and their teachers.

If you get a chance to visit the Big Island, Lapahoehoe is located an hour or so north of Hilo on the eastern side of the island. It’s a wonderful place to visit. I’d recommend bringing a picnic lunch (we didn’t have one with us!) so you can truly enjoy the atmosphere.

This photo was taken at Carlsbad’s Bataquitos Lagoon. In the 80s, this lagoon nearly died because the freeway and railroad had closed down the inlets leading from the ocean to the lagoon. The lagoon has been healthier in recent years, but it will improve more when the inlets are opened by future expansion of the I-5 Interstate.
Ageless beauty…these old stumps caught my attention.

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
