I stayed a month in Glenn and Mary's quiet paradise, yoga in the morning by the garden, fresh chicken eggs laid out for my breakfast, talks with Glenn and Mary on the front porch about hula, Hawaiian history and present, and grilled fresh fish in the open kitchen. I held a freshly hatched butterfly from their garden--waiting for its wings to dry before flying. I painted postcards to send home and many were from their lovely yard. An interesting couple building a vegetable greenhouse together. Hilo is 5 minutes away along a beautiful two lane, ocean river drive. The best of both worlds.
