Sandy Hapuna Beach

Back at that restaurant on the beach

We found a "Center for Spiritual Living" about 500 yards from our condo, by accident. Accident?

Mr. Kona duck came every morning to our lanai for a handout

If I wasn't forthcoming, he'd come right up to our door, quacking.

We always have to pick some plumeria to put in our condo - Mark stops to take a whiff whenever he walk by the bowl

Breathtaking vistas on the Big Island!
