Back Down in Waimea

Just love the color and style of these buildings. 

We decided these must be Waimea's elementary school.
The high school was next door.

JoJo's was recommended by a friend.

Shave Ice with ice cream at the bottom of the pot - yum!
And fresh roasted coconut for crunchies topping the ice cream...

Tom wanted the whole place recorded!

Me too! A great treat for warm afternoon in Waimea.

After the cool and rainy trek up to Kalalau Lookout.

voted most artistic library sign by me -

so nostalgic

Kalalau Canyon Lookout at last!

It's still November 10th and it's raining way up here at 4000 ft.
