First we went to the Farmer's Market, which is a big thing here every Wednesday and Saturday. Lots of local handicrafts and local fresh produce. We picked up a few trinkets and tried some cold coconut juice.

They had some beautiful fresh tropical flowers at unbelievably low prices. Try to get this for 5 bucks at FTD!
Then we went snorkeling at Richardson's Beach, which our host recommended for seeing sea turtles, and we did see quite a few and Colleen and I went in to snorkel and swim right there next to the turtles. Way Cool!
We also saw lots and lots of beautiful brightly colored big tropical fish, and yes we did see the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a fish, which is the Hawaiian state fish that has the longest name.
The black sand beach was really pretty, and is made from the lava that exploded when it hit the sea water.
Some pretty good waves there, and we were able to see whales jumping and spouting off in the distance, but couldn't get our camera to take the picture quick enough to catch the whales.
Then we cleaned up, went out for some good local Thai food and went to see Rainbow Falls and Boiling Pots
