The island of Hawaii may be as big as the State of Connecticut. Its chief town is Hilo, where the rain walks softly through the lehua trees. Hawaii has the active volcano Kilauea, the snow-topped mountains Mauna Lou and Mauria Kea, it has shining vistas of the Pacific, it has great lava-covered tracts that are terribly impressive and it has deep gorges in which old-world Polynesia still lives on. Further down the blue ocean makes a great frill of lace on the black-lava shingle, opening to the ocean is one of Waipalo's thirteen valleys.
