Hawaii - Day 11 - Hawaii Burning

Saturday was our last day in Hawaii. We got up and went to the Beach and I baked like a large potatoe - I started out as a brown Russet potato, but ended up looking like a red New Potato when I left - yep I got burnt... and little did I know that the burning would continue.

As we drove home from the beach I noticed smoke in the distance. I said, "Hey, it looks like somehting is burning right next to where we are staying." And indeed I was correct.

We got home to our 7th floor apartment and found that the mountain/hill behind our place was actually burning! It was just a simple grass fire and the firefighters already had it under control, but what are the odds that a hill behind our apartment would be burning? Well, I'd say they are pretty good if just that morning you forgot to douse the fire you were using to roast your large pig... just kidding, I didn't have a fire on that mountainside, or a large pig.

So we were packing up and getting ready to leave and I snapped a bunch of photos of the firemen working hard to put out the fire.





Now I must get to work on my Hawaiian photo journal. With over 1000 pictures to sort through it might take me a while to get it posted, but I should have it done by the end of the week at the latest.

Hope everyone had a great weekend, Hawaii was fun, but man it feels good to be home.
