Along the way, we drove through the caldera I mentioned in my last post. Here, we have stopped on the North Shore, which is know for its waves and surfing. The record wave height is around 40 feet, but today it was relatively calm, with waves around 2-3 feet. But I took a picture anyway, just to prove we were there, with the requisite sand, water, waves and palm tree. In the distance, you can spot surfers trying to make the best of the conditions. You are looking straight out into the Pacific. Ah, to be on an island!<\/p>\n
