A Kona in Kona

Coffee that is. Martha, Marian and I came into town via shore tender to check things out. It would have been almost impossible to get Mom on the tender, so we left with a book on the balcony of her room. She'll be fine till we get back.

We arrived here this morning after a memorable trip last night. We sailed past a point on the island where the lava is flowing down the mountain into the sea. Spectacular!! A bright red firey streak down the mountainside ending in clouds of steam at the water's edge. The boat was probably a couple of miles off shore, but we were close enough to smell the sulphur. I've got some video that I'll try to clean up and post when I get back to civilization.

I'll post more, with pictures, next week.
