[left that other site]

It was one of five places I visited on that very difficult day.

The first was a coffee plantation where I had a fish sandwich and some fabulous Kona Coffee.

Then I drove down to Kealakakua Bay, viewed the Captain Cook Monument, and the site of the first Christian Service in the Hawaiian Islands.

Then I went to City of Refuge National Park, an amazingly beautiful and spiritual place.

Then I went to the Botanical Meditation Garden where I took that picture of the hibiscus.

And finally, I visited the Painted Church, uphill from the Botanical Garden.

It was a day of healing and comfort,with just a little bit of adventure and hiking thrown in.
