What I Like About the Big island - allngood - 07-30-2008
And now on a positive note: What I like about the Big Island.
The way folks stop and talk story, everywhere, no matter what they doing. The different kind of folks and the way we can kid each other about being Haole, Japanese, Portuguese or whatever. Mother earth doing her thing to the max. The rain!
How bout you?

The fact that we in Puna will now have a say in the future! [

The trees, the ocean, the community... the small stores and the chance of bumping into the same people time and again, building a community bond.
I also love the fact that Hilo is just a hop skip and a jump from Pahoa, offering the bigger stores when needed... but going back home in the forest is quite fascinating and refreshing to say the least!

My neighbors, Punaweb, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the Red Road, and the rain forest, just to name a few.
Cheers,

Ouch... the "Red Road"... brings back memories.... as it is no longer the "Red Road"
I really enjoyed cruising the red road about 13 years ago when I first moved here. It's not red anymore and the view changes each time I drive it.
The drive is still a beautiful drive though.

The weather & all of the different climates on this one island... that you can go to just about any weather you want, if you don't like it where you are, you can go a bit, and find a change to something else (big difference from Chicago area, where the weather comes to you.... if you don't like it now [even if you do like it], wait a bit & it will change to something else)

What Carey said! And...the different cultures - learning how other people do things and what's important to them.
Malasadas. Don't forget Malasadas! (Crivello's [sp?] has good malasada up Komohana, and I DO love the ones from Tex - Bavarian Cream....yummmmm, M-a-l-a-s-a-a-a-d-a-s...DOH!)[

The weather, the tropical feel, plants, the fear of lava and earthquakes (makes me appreciate life a little bit more!), all the people I have met, and GUAVA SMOOTHIES!!!*
*above list is not in any way comprehensive!
