Last Friday I got to go to Hilo for work. Hilo is on the windward side of the Big Island and after teaching a Kidney 101 class I was free to explore. It really is a fun place to visit.

A small part of Coconut Island.

Next to Coconut Island is the cutest little Japanese Garden.




View from Coconut Island.

One great view after another.

Akaka Falls just outside of Hilo.

This place has the most amazing cookies you have ever had in your life! They have a wedsite too people so check it out. www.bigislandcandies.com
I recommend the macadamia nut short bread cookies, half dipped in milk chocolate. YUM!
