4th of July, the happy story...
After our hotel experience, trying to figure out what we had done to deserve that, we decided the rest of the weekend could only get better.
Our friend Gabe was visiting his sister on that side of the island, we collected Gabe and headed to the Mauna Kea resort beach. (if you are interested you can search for the web site, I don't really feel like putting the link here) The Mauna Kea resort is a "post-card" Hawaii tourist trap, big long nice beach, nice water, bar on the beach stuff like that. Hawaiian state law prohibits privately owned beaches, so the Mauna Kea resort cannot actually restrict non-guest access to the beach, but they can however control it though parking, Hawaiian law does allow you to own your own parking lot.
Gabe's brother in-law is a tennis pro at one of the other resorts, so having a little bit of inside information we told the gate-girl that we were playing tennis with Jim, none of knowing who Jim actually was. And we got to park in the staff lot, hehe were soooo bad.
There was a new development being built along the beach, we decided to go have a look at one nearing completion that caught my eye. Some impressive steel work and lethal amount of teak. Very nice.
After the beach we had supper at Tres Hombres, pretty good Mexican joint and headed home. After eating at few Mexican places that were supposed to be authentic, here on Hawaii, Sr. Froggies back in good old Kamloops could give any of these places a run for there money!
Monday afternoon we were invited to a house party at a VERY nice house just outside of Hilo. The party was hosted by the houses care taker... Sounds like a good job to me.
There was a BBQ and Drink and Music and Fun and Fireworks.
Hardy, in the water...
a great big thumb on the beach... and Gabe is back the somewhere...
Ashely, in the water...
the beach is... that way...
a pool, on the beach...
the side of a very large, very nice house, on the beach...
the front patio of a very large, very nice house, on the beach...
a very heavey door constructed from 3/16in. steel plate triangles...
a back yard view I wouldn't mind...
interesting roof profile, on an otherwise square house...
yes, the this inlay example is the garage door?!?!
fireworks...
