Baldy & Binzer: March 2010
http://brianjamesbaldwin.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 25, 2010. The last 2 months! We went to eat Hibachi the other night.which was really fun save for the Japanese guy who decided to hit me in the face with egg twice before landing it in my mouth. We went to Oak Alley Plantation which is beautiful with huge oak trees. My friend Niecie from high school came into town with her boyfriend for a week. LEt's just say yet again, they brought cold weather. It was freezing here, 45 degrees with freezing wind whipping through. We saw a bird though.

Sunday, September 26, 2010. Thanks for the Birthday Wishes! So, this weekend, we went downtown to a big Jawaiian music fest. It's not really reggae.it's called island music. It was a really funny contrast to a New Orleans music fest. First off, there were about 10,000 people and no alcohol sales. It also ended by 10'oclock and it's the biggest music/public event that happens all year. Saturday, September 18, 2010. I'm unemployed so why not blog? Here are some pictures from downtown Hilo and the Farmer's ...

Sunday, March 13, 2011. Tsunami, 10K in Kona, and Roller Derby. While nothing at all happened on the Hilo side of the island, in Kona, water came into the stores and damaged a lot of property. One house was swept out into the bay and a lot of debris and garbage was pulled into the ocean. Yet, it was of course nothing like Japan experienced. Here we are down at Hilo Bay for an early morning stroll and snack. Beautiful clear day. Some of the canoe teams practicing in the morning. A shot of the auditorium.

Tuesday, May 10, 2011. We're a little late in getting these posts up.but here are some pictures from our visit from Mat and Karen, our Peace Corps buddies. They visited for a week about two weeks ago now and we had an awesome time. They were blessed with some great weather the whole trip and we saw a bunch of the island with them. We stayed for a long weekend over in Kona before they left. It was great to just relax at a super nice beach, do some swimming and enjoy the pools. Enjoying a little relaxation.

Baldy & Binzer: October 2010

Monday, October 11, 2010. This past weekend we just relaxed and also traveled around Hilo a little bit to see some of the sights that we hadn't explored yet. I went surfing for a little bit today and finally rode a wave really well (actually turned! So that was fun. I also got smashed by a couple of big waves and blamed the ocean at first.but then realized I could direct all of my anger at the moon. This is Coconut Island, just a little park jutting out into Hilo Bay. Some Banyan trees near Rainbow Falls.

You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around - and why his parents will always wave back. - William D. Tammeus.

Here's one of our new favorite meals: turkey burgers with goat cheese, beets, and purple sweet potatoes.mmmm. Surf beach, we just went this last weekend. Here's a shot of Mauna Kea behind downtown Hilo. Then, you drive through the National Park, which is mostly desert on the drive, but is just gorgeous. This is the last farm: c...

Sunday, September 11, 2011. It was great to be able to spend some time in Minnesota this past summer. We ended up spending a little less than a week and we were able to celebrate Derek's graduation and see a lot of the extended family. We had some great weather up at the lake, and then it became classically freezing and Lindsey and I almost went into hypothermia. This was one of the BBQ's that we attended and I wish I could remember this fellows name. He is related to the famous voyageur Mau. It was supe...
