Hilo, Hawaii - Morning Sail-In

Land ho!  Our first stop after a four day crossing.  I am very excited to see Hawaii (I've never been here before) and go to the top deck to see what I can see.  There is an overcast sky as we approach Hilo, and I can see a tall mountain in the distance.  The pilot tugboat comes out to give us a helping hand.


We have great views from the top deck and I can see homes, green spaces (golf?) and high rises. The mountains are in the distance and I can see a rainy spot making its way towards us.

I had been eating breakfast when Mom told me to get my camera and get out there on deck!  I was missing the views.  Good call, Mom!

 The land is very lush with a wide variety of trees and vegetation.





 The ship is approaching the dock and I scurry off to prepare to disembark on my first tour.

Location: Hilo, HI, USA

Barcelona, Spain - La Sagrada Familia Passion Facade

I just took the photos, many many photos, so that I would have them to look at when I returned home and could research this building.  The Passion Facade is quite a work of art so scroll through the photos and take it all in. I put a description at the end of the post so that you could experience my experience.  Look, look, look, read about it, then return to the photos to look with new eyes. Center statues are "Peter's Denial".  The three women on the left represent the three times of the denial. "The Rooster", to the left of the women, looks towards dawn.
