  Sunday: Up the Mountain
Sunday we did the drive up to the Visitor Information Station on Mauna Kea, 9000 feet above sea level.
We really were up near the clouds. Some of them looked friendlier than others....
A little way off from the VIS is a silversword sanctuary, which includes this little shrine, to Pele, I think.
Max enjoys wearing layers, and one of the only pictures he'd really stand still for was with the Invisible Cow sign.
The selection of snacks at the VIS is decidedly slanted towards the celestial.... By the way, a lunch of freeze dried bananas, peaches, strawberries, cinnamon apple slices, mint chocolate chip and neopolitan ice cream still won't feed five people. Trail mix helps, though.
Because it was daytime, they only had one telescope out, with solar filters. I was not the only person sticking his camera on the eyepiece, not by a long shot. Note the flare in the upper left quadrant!
Later, back at the seashore.... It turns out that you can feed the fish at the Hilo Hawaiian, if you ask the right person -- no, I don't know who it was -- and they give you some actual fish food.
