On the (lava) Rocks!


We were just watching the sunset last night at the Cove Parkin South Maui, hangout place for surfers and canoe paddlers.
The lava rocks I am standing on here are the smooth ones and have a glossy finish.(When molten lava flows to the ocean and are chilled quickly, a thin, glassy rind forms on the exposed surface of the lava flow. This layer of glass provides the luster to the rock). Btw, it is un-cool to take rocks out of Hawaii, and kind of bad to be taking them anyway (since people after you would like to see the place un-scarred). But remember, there is a folklore about taking lava rock as a souvenir and a myth of bad luck will befall on you till you return it to where you got it. Mother Pele will get angry with you, so enjoy it here and leave it here.
