The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons


	Saturday, January 19, 2013: Dave and Jean Schaeffer along with Mark and Paula headed north into the Kona tourist area to see what they could see.

	Beautiful beaches were appreciated along the way.

Then there was a tour of the Hulihe'e Palace.

Built in 1844, it was home to Hawaiian royalty for many years.

It is now a museum, but no photos are allowed inside.


	The Hawaiian receptionist was happy to pose for a photo. Nice lady. A statue of King Kamehameha I was seen further north on the trip that day.


	Hawaii has a rocky shoreline in many places. This spot is several hundred feet up from the water on the northwest side of the island.


	Hawaii has many beautiful roads in its countryside. The only problem is figuring out pronunciations on road signs. It wouldn't be as bad if we could all speak Hawaiian.


Paula could not take her eyes off the sunset that day.
