10-9 Hawaii day 6

We attended sacrament meeting at the local ward.  I have to admit, I love attending church while on vacation.  I love the reassurance that the gospel is the same everywhere we go.  That love and strength and centering make me feel more connected to where ever I am.  The culture or the scenery may be very different but the goodness of the people is constant.  The girls were most excited by the very tiny lizard sneaking up the aisle.  And their new dresses.


And then we did the Road to Hana!  We downloaded an audio app called the Gypsy Guide and that definitely enriched the trip.  He navigated and told stories and history and pointed out landmarks.  We stopped at Twin Falls for a quick picnic and short hike down to the falls.  They weren’t very big but the jungle was beautiful.  We stopped at the arboratorum and the girls got a kick out of the “Tarzan ropes”.  I love the flowers and especially the rainbow eucalyptus trees.  We saw some beautiful waterfalls and stopped to eat at a roadside market.  I especially loved the Black Sand beach (so unique and SO beautiful) and the Seven Sacred Pools.  We got there just before sunset and raced down the short hike to see the breathtakingly beautiful views.  The girls got to play for awhile, making piles of coconuts and driftwoods while Z was happy in his carrier, kicking his legs and grinning at everyone else on the trail.
