Today was a volcano day. We started out at Volcano National Park with a Ranger talk and tour of the visitor center. We then moved on to check out the 4 mile Kilauea Iki Trail along the rainforest edge and down across the Little Kilauea caldera. Since we started early, the heat wasn't bad. Plus, we had winds up to 80 mph across this side of the island, closing down some of the summit roads. After a quick sack lunch along the trek, we visited the steam tunnels, sulfur vents, and large caldera lookout. Having reach our capacity of volcano attractions, we decided to head back to the house for a refreshing dip in the pool and siestas. Fresh fruits, fat vegetables and yummy desserts were purchased at one of the many road side stands on our way home.
