Well, sort of. Dean was conveniently scheduled to work at the Ola'a Forest Preserve around the corner from our house, so we walked him to work this morning. After I got all of my work done, Dash and I headed southeast toward Pahala to check out the public pool. Good news--it's free, bad news--not heated. It was 77 degrees. However, I was the only one there and the lifeguard opened it for me. No lane separators, no other people. I don't think I've ever done that before. The lifeguard said she might swim with me in the future. She also coaches the youth swim team.
I kept it short for Dash's sake and then we continued another few miles down to Punalu'u Beach Park. Above pictures are of the beautiful black sand beach, lava formations, and a scavenging mongoose. There used to be a road right behind the beach but they closed it to protect sea turtles! In Florida they'd build a fence to keep the road open (or worse, just shrug their shoulders if turtles got killed).
