Flowers for Bunny




I hear Bunny is a fan of the flower pictures...so here are a few more, though not that awesome.

300 earthquakes




We didn't know it until we were leaving, but apparently the volcano had an active day the other day, and we happened to be there. 300 earthquakes in one day as the magma was draining from one chamber to another or something like that! The road around the crater was closed we found out after we spent some time at the Jagger Museum. We couldn't get near the siesmograph museum because there were so many people gawking at all the activity. We didn't even know that until the next day when we read it in the paper. The current eruption out of Pu'u O'o crater appears to have stopped, which is pretty big news around here. I told Raph that maybe lava will flow over the house that we almost bought, then he wouldn't feel bad about us not getting it.

Anyway, we're spending a lot of time staring at eachother, which has been just fine with me. The moms seem okay with it for the most part, though. I don't think they realized how serious I was when I said we didn't do anything, before they came out here!
