We survived Hawai'i. The big island (aptly named, Hawai'i) is quite an amazing and diverse place. Aside from hateful tourists, the people there are quite hospitable. I repeatedly saw drivers stopping to let other cars in front of them, which would get you shot in Houston on a good day. I also saw a woman from a table full of octogenarians storm into the kitchen and bitch at the cook, on Christmas Day, because their order was late. Relax, people, or don't stray from your four star resort, if that's the service you demand.

Anyhoo, here is a smattering of photos from the Big Island to show some of its diversity.

Here's a humpback whale. I think his name is Tony. He's probably available for adoption from Captain Dan.



Here's Akaka Falls, on the eastern side of the island.



And here's some fresh lava, from the Pu'u O'o flow.



A great way to spend Christmas, especially when it's snowing in Houston. For those of you that want to hear more about it, I'll be boring the shit out of you with Hawaii stories for years to come, so just relax.
