Michael and I are in Hawaii on the Big Island for a medical conference. Today we went on my first helicopter ride. It was AMAZING! I am so glad we did it!
On our way to the volcano we saw many waterfalls.
This is looking over the top.
Here shows a little remains from a Bed and Breakfast.
This is miles of lava that has destroyed so many homes.
Here is a patch of road that was spared.
For the last 3 months you are able to see lava going into the water.
If you look closely you can see a little red. Apparently the smell here is terrible. They have warnings for people to not get close if they have asthma or respiratory problems.
Here is a fresh section of lava. It turns the silver/gray in 3-4 seconds so you can see how recent this is.
We had a fantastic time, and would tell anyone the helicopter is a must if you are coming to the Big Island.
