My Hawaiian Field Studies Experience: Day 3 - To The Big Island of Hawaii and the Imiloa Astronomy Center

#HFS2018

I started this Blog when I first started working with the North Lake College Summer Hawaiian Field Studies course. I knew that in 2 weeks, I would learn so much and I needed a place to document it. I was right. I went back through my pictures when I got home and thought, "Did we stop here? I don't remember this!". So I went back to my Blog and was reminded of that moment. So many great moments, so many great stories...here is where I document them. Please read, enjoy, send me questions, comments, etc.

I will be streaming live using Periscope on my Twitter Page. Follow me @Laronna_D on Twitter and @ldoggett on Instagram

Day 3 - To The Big Island of Hawaii and the Imiloa Astronomy Center

I'm sure there are many fabulous things about Oahu, but I do love the other islands better. There is more nature and less people!!

After we landed, we went to Uncle Billy's and dropped off our luggage. Next stop pizza then the Imiloa Astronomy Center. Here we learned about canoe plants and Polynesian culture and history.

Kubicek, Kate and I left the group while they were watching the film to see if a local photography exhibit was worth seeing. They were closed due to sickness. We spoke to a man outside for a few min. He said that he was a former guidance counselor and teacher. He said that had been the one to encourage President Obama to go to an Ivy League School. Interesting!!

Back to the Imiloa center.
