Here are a few more photos Michael and Amy vacationing in Hawaii.
This morning we drove upcountry to Waimea to a "homesteader's farmer's market." We believe that Homesteaders refers to the native Hawaiians -- who call this paradise their home because of legal Native Hawaiian ancestry. Nonetheless, the farmers market was the coolest we've ever visited..... fresh organic produce -- salad greens, herbs, tropical flowers,fruits, vegetables, herbs, goat cheese, lavender, eggs, some crafty stuff. Julie -- your tie dye shirts, etc. would have done well.
Michael was wearing a tee shirt from the UP of Michigan and we were warmly "accosted" by a woman from the gReen bay Area who now lives on the Big Island. She went to college long ago on Oahu, met her husband there, chose to raise their children in Wisconsin because of the quality of schools in Wisconsin.... but vowed to return to Hawaii to retire.
I wanted to ask her if she had a room to rent... but I resisted. Up Country Big Island Hawaii is a lot like driving to "Up NOrth Wisconsin" -- Away from the bustle of the big city, tourist areas, the "REAL" America (I jest).
Need I mention -- the weather is fabulous!
