It is not the size that matters

Dahna: Wow. We rode our bikes out to the headland near Hilo today, and walked around the wetlands and rocks. We found one amazing tide pool after another. In a little pool no bigger than five meters squared we saw more fish and coral and sea creatures than we did in the entire cove that we paid money to be shuttled to with a bunch of other suckers. ooops. Sorry, but 'tis true.

Sea cucumbers, slugs, crabs, hermit crabs, anenomes, coral... all the better because there was no photo-shopped version that led us there. No film of sunscrean floating on the water... no fake fingernails. Just a couple of big waves breaking over and disturbing the calm occasionally :-)

Beauty and Spam
Wow, I love those rock pool photos. Sorry to hear about all the Spam, but yeah. Pacfic Islanders took to it in a big way i think, pig having always been a big part of their diet - Spam is just an easier version I guess.
