Kilauea

This volcano causes a lot of trouble.  We drove to the top of it which is not that high, only 4045 ft compared to the behemoth neighbours Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea both over 13,000 ft.  We walked around the Caldera rim for a while and thru some steam and gas fields.  2018's drama resulted in a huge subsidence in this area.  We found another ancient General Store that had sandwiches and champagne.  The drive down to Punalu'u black sand was fast and slick like a lava flow.  This beach was rumoured to have turtles but there were none to be seen.  Debbie says because it is Australia Day today in Australia we can have two 40th anniversaries.
