#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 5 - Geology and Snorkeling

Geology can really be very cool. We headed away from Kona today and got to see a lava lube.  I've walked through a lava tube before, but this was different.  The Thurston Lava Tubs is very neat to walk through, but this one was not touristy like the other. I walked down into the lava tube, but them came back out.  The students were able to walk through it and come out the other side.  It was really neat.

 

Someone made a heart on the lava rock.  I thought it was pretty.



After lunch, we went on a brutal hike up and up and up to see a cinder cone.

 

We decided that the students did a fantastic job so we also went snorkeling at Kahalu'u Beach park. OMG.  This place was amazing.  There were fish species that I've never seen before and sea urchins the size of a dinner plate.  It was fantastic!

  

Kona Canoe Club for dinner and then off to bed.
