Road trip!

On Sunday, my two friends, Tedi and Esther decided to go on a roadtrip. Our final destination was South point - which is the southern most point of this island, and the southern most point of the United States!! But on our way we stopped at a few other places. The first was Starbucks :-) (I got an amazing iced grande two pump cinnamon dunce, two pump vanilla latte)


The second place is a beach area called 'City of Refuge' because back in ancient Hawaiian times people who had to flee the law could get here and be exempt from punishment - that is if they made it! But we stopped just to have a looksey and took some fun photos while there.
In the lava rock we found these little crystalized pockets that looked like ice - but obviously weren't - so they dared me to taste it to make sure it was salt, and YEP it was!

Then we just took some fun photos there...




Here in Kona, where I live, it's not your typical ideal of 'Hawaii,' it covered in hard black lava rock and it's really no that pretty.. but once you start driving south it gets really lush and green. It's beautiful.

On the way to South Point we passed this fenced in yard with these two Texas Longhorns which was quite the site in the first place:

So we pulled over to look at them up close, then saw in the fenced in area behind them a ZEBRA and a donkey together...
the owner came out and told us that as of recently, the donkey is pregnant with the zebra's baby and the breed is called a "zonkey." It was hilarious. This guy was so interesting - before this zebra, he had another one that he bought from the movie "george of the jungle" haha. So random.


Now, you know you're getting close to South Point when you see the windmills. They were just beautiful.



Then at South Point, there are these great spots to jump off if you want - me and Esther waited an hour for Tedi to decide whether or not she would jump. She didn't. :-(

Here's the beautiful water below, and a sweet yellow boat.




The end!
