After our morning at Kealakekua Bay<\/a>, we returned our rented snorkel gear to Snorkel Bob’s<\/a>. It had served us well. And we considered it a particular bonus that they didn’t charge us for an extra day.<\/p>\n

After that, we drove a narrow, winding road up to Holualoa<\/a>,\u00a0a hamlet\u00a0on the slopes above Kona where there are art galleries and a cafe Trudy had targeted. By the time we got there, we figured we’d be ready for a snack. Sadly, when we got there, the cafe and most of the galleries were closed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We did go into Ipu Hale gallery<\/a>. Here there were ipu gourds carved in the Ni’ihau method<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And we walked into the Holualoa Ukulele Gallery<\/a> in the old Holualoa post office.<\/p>\n

Sam took us into his shop in back and talked to us about his ukuleles and his workshops (10 days, seven hours per day) where people come in a learn how to play and how to make<\/em> a ukulele.<\/p>\n

\"DSC<\/p>\n

But besides the gourd guy and Sam, there just wasn’t a whole lot left to do in Holualoa, since we’d missed the closing bell.<\/p>\n

The fair and industrious Trudy got a big bottle of water at the general store, because we were thirsty, and we sat on the curb and guzzled it.<\/p>\n

And we took a few pictures of the narrow roads and the funny, zigzag stripes at stop signs and crosswalks.<\/p>\n

\"DSC<\/p>\n

And as afternoon gave way to evening, we drove back down to Kona in search of gas and dinner.<\/p>\n

Don’t ask me just how afternoon gave way to evening when we did so little, but … we were on vacation, we were in no rush, and so we just took our time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
