Today we went on a fantastic trip to the summit of Mauna Kea with Mauna Kea Summit Adventures. It was so good. We were picked up in Kona and driven in a nice new van up to the summit, while the driver (Arthur) told us a ton of interesting facts about the Big Island. At the summit we enjoyed a beautiful sunset, and then returned to the visitor center where our driver set up a telescope and we spent a couple of hours stargazing. It was pretty great! Highly recommended.

The evenings are getting cooler which means I can go bicycling without the need for a follow-up shower. 😂

Tonight the clouds were very beautiful. And the bike ride was pleasant. Several houses were already decorated for Halloween. I am looking forward to seeing more decorations as the month progresses. 🎃
