One month to the day of my arrival in Hilo I was struck by a car. The bad news - I broke my left wrist. The good news - I am right handed. I'm so bored out of my mind but i'm alive. I could go on and on but I'll stop there.
Anyway, I am temporarily staying with my kids and their dad as I recover (the brake was very bad - it will take three months to heal). They live in a town called Volcano. Yes, they live on the top of a volcano - Kilauea one of the earth's most active! Good news - I am being taken care of, bad news - and this might surprise you, Volcano is cold. As in I don't want to get out of bed in the morning cold, fleece jacket cold and even on occasion hot chocolate cold. Of course I didn't bring ant sweaters or flannel pjs to Hawaii but boy do I wish I had! It can be pleasantly warm during the day but in the morning and after the sun goes down the temperatures drop significantly.
I am staying on the bright side though. Volcano is beautiful as you can see from some of the pictures I took at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park last weekend.
