Hilo

We found some sun in Hilo to our surprise!  All the guide books tell about rain in Hilo. We walked around the park by the waterfront as well as Coconut Island which has a varied history from a quarantine area to a military training area with recreational use in between and definitely now. Behind the kids you can see the locals jumping off the platform. We visited the Pacific Tsunami Museum which was educational and sobering.  Hilo is so low lying that you can imagine the devastation a tsunami could cause.
