We had a hearty breakfast of turnovers (coconut) from the Sack N Save Bakery, one of the Foodland partners. They are delicious turnovers.
We ran a couple of errands and then eventually headed out to some of the shopping areas or farmers markets or just plain markets. They all seem to have the same stuff at the same prices so no need to shop around.
One Market area had a section about learning the Hawaiian Language. See the examples.
Later we drove south to the Greenwell Coffee to take a tour and try their selection of coffees. It was very informative. There is a 20 mile section around Kona that is excellent for growing coffee. They can not plant
too close to the ocean or to the mountain tops due to the temperature. They must have enough sunshine but not too hot during the afternoon and enough rainfall. That particular area gets early morning sun which is cooler and rain at 4 PM or so everyday. That makes a perfect combination for good Kona coffee.
We were able to catch a little of the sunset at a little after 7 PM, but the clouds have been quite heavy in the evening.
We later checked out the Wyland Gallery which had a special reception. He himself was there and painting as a demonstration. It was pretty neat to see him quickly paint something especially a non-sealife creature. We had our photo taken with him and have his signature. Pretty nice way to meet him.
He said he was using a cheap hardware brush that was about $1.
A lion rather than a dolphin.
His signature.
