~ As seen at the Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park Visitor Center ~
Our first time on the Big Island of Hawai’i … and what a great success it turned out to be. We had wonderful weather — sunshine and mostly blue skies … which the locals said we brought with us as it had apparently been raining quite heavily the past few days. The day’s high was forecasted to be 78F (26C), and it probably got up there at some point. But we spent our day at Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park (HVNP), where we were at elevation … and thus it was cooler. Just a fabulous day all in all.
