South Pointe...

We spent one day and went to south pointe. Along the windy road down (which I got car sick on!) there were a ton of fruit markets. The kabala said that this one was the best! (and the most expensive!!!) The boys had to stop.

Our first stop once we finally got down to south pointe was the green sand beach. It is a beach with green sand (obviously!) but you have to trek there. It is like a 2 mile trek through all of this lava rock. You HAVE to have a 4x4. If you don't, you have to walk it. We felt bad for all the suckers walking! I don't think that half of them made it. We barely made it in our big Ford Expedition. Luckily with the navigation skills of Ben and Eric combined, we made it through! :)

Our next stop was the cliff for some cliff jumping off the southern most point in the United States of America. It is so beautiful and the water is so clear down there. A local told us to make sure that no one was bleeding because there have been sharks down there recently. Ben was worried about that because he got beat up in Hawaii and was all bloodied and bruised on his legs. :) Luckily no sharks got him while he was in the water.

Only the boys jumped...

Next stop was the black sand beach. The sand is really black. It is really just lava rock ground down to sand. But it is also a resting spot for turtles, so we got to see some little friends while we were there.

Here's a better look at the black sand. And my fat ankles. On one of the first days in Hawaii I fried my calves and feet so my ankles were swollen so big! I had never seen my ankles so big! You couldn't even see my ankle bones sticking out!
