A walk along the beach jump started our first full day in Kona.

We had breakfast on the patio and actually saw a cardinal. It was neat seeing a bird that I can find in my backyard here. It’s a connection I didn’t really think of.

It’s now 9 a.m. And we are just leaving the local Saturday morning farmer’s market. Fresh bread, fruits and vegetables and even scented oils. We are in heaven.

Aunt Cindy bought me a small bottle of the oils – she was afraid I wouldn’t buy it for myself. She had a point. I couldn’t decide whether to buy it or not, and I absolutely loved the homemade oils. I put some on my wrists to smell and I am still in love with it 30 minutes later.

We spent a lot of time buying groceries. For me, my sweet tea is a necessity so I had to buy my supplies.
