Week 2 Hawaii


During Spring Break in 2012, my family and I took a family vacation to the Big Island of Hawaii. I have never been there before so I was excited beyond belief to go. Once we arrived, I could not believe how hot and humid it was. I was sweating and feeling extremely uncomfortable. On the first day, after checking into our hotel room, we found a restaurant in which we fell in love with and made certain to go back another night. The difference the second time around we made sure to get there early enough to claim an outside seat and, to our liking, a cruise ship that had parked for the day began sailing away about twenty minutes before the sun went down. When sunset was about to occur, all the tourists, joined by the locals, would step outside to watch the sun fade away. As it left the sky for the night, the clouds changed to a light pinkish color, which was absolutely gorgeous. Because of this light, people stopped their activities, joined their families, friends, and loved ones to watch the beautiful event that took part. This color that occurred daily made people feel welcome on the Big Island. It brought people together and made them feel loved by their families and implemented a sense of peace to people watching the beautiful sky as well as myself. Lastly, this event marked a significant time in the day. It ended the work hours therefore the laborers could go back home to their families and other activates that occurred during the sunlight came to a closing. It, also, brought on the festivities that started when the dark of night began.
