Richardson's Beach

We took last Sunday to get groceries in Hilo and use the government car to get to Richardson's beach - one of the best beaches in Hilo (doesn't compare to Kona beaches, but it'll do). We played Hana fuda while sitting in the sand, and Katie and I lost 6 times in a row against Reid, Fred, Kevin, and David. I still haven't won a game - there's not even a strategy involved! It's supposed to be just luck!

I spent some time trying to pick out the pretty green olivine crystals, but laying down in the gravelly-sand is not the best idea:

The exciting part of the day was seeing this turtle swim its way through a channel to the open water. I love turtles!



After the beach we went to see Public Enemies at the $1 theater in Hilo. My next plan: buy a ukulele in Hilo sometime...
