Hawaii

A first-timers first impression of Hawaii

Stepping off the airplane onto the ground of Hawaii at first felt like stepping off into paradise. And then two things hit me; the first was the heat. The second was the view. At first, for me, the tropical heat was really hot. I would get used to it. And the view, oh the view was terrible! It looked at first as if all there was to Hawaii was a whole bunch of broken-up pavement. It looked like a torn up parking lot! So much for natural paradise. And then I realized what the “pavement” was. It was lava! I was standing on an old lava flow! How cool is that? Only in Hawaii! I realized then that Hawaii was different from any other place I had visited.
When I got away from the old lava flow, and saw some of my first plants; that were all beautiful, and plants I had never seen before, I realized again that Hawaii was different. (70 to 80 percent of all wildlife is only found in Hawaii.)
And from my from my first beach, where I saw people surfing for the first time, I realized again that Hawaii is different.
And from the first volcanic rocks I saw, I realized Hawaii was different.
And through the five subjects of Volcanoes, People, Religion, History, and State Symbols, I plan to show you just how different Hawaii really is.
