Burning Cane and a Sunrise...

This morning we got up at 4:00am to go see the sunrise at a place called the Crater on the other side of the island. We got up and when we walked outside it was still pitch black (except for a orange tinted sky). I say to Ken "Ahh the sun is already rising"...turns out that right off the main road they were burning cane. The field was SO huge and was completely on fire! It was so neat to see it done at night time because it had the most amazing orange glow. ..

It lit up the sky, such a bright orange color

So that was an unexpected surprise. After we snapped some pictures we were off the the Crater. It was about an hour drive on a VERY curvy road. I got a little car sick, so Ken pulled over to let me drive. Once we got there is was so cold and windy, but SO worth it. We were at an elevation of 9,700ft, we were above the clouds, it was one of the neatest things we have done while we have been here. Absolutely amazing...

Almost all the way up

And it's up! Beautiful...

Ken and I...a little bright

On our way down the mountain, we saw a side area that you could pull off and look at the craters from another area. It was so neat...

It was so worth it to get up at 4:00am to go see the sunrise. SO COOL! We are having a great time here! I never want to leave!

We are off the go golfing right now...wish me luck. I have only golfed one time in my entire life...this should be an experience!

ALOHA!
