We did errands in Hilo today from around 8 am-6 pm.
First stop, community center proved fruitless (closed).
On our way into Hilo, we picked up a hitchhiker who was SO grateful. He was on his way to CU Hawaii, but he didn’t know where it was, so it was good we helped him get there.
We drove into Hilo for the cheapest gas. Around the corner is Garden Exchange where we got pallets last week. They welcomed us to come back often, so we did. Another 10 pallets loaded! We’ll use them for building a composting toilet, floors for our tents, and maybe even walls for a screened structure.
We visited offices for Parks and Recreation and Forestry and Wildlife (obtained two permits for getting Tree Ferns).
We didn’t get library cards because it is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
We didn’t do laundry because we forgot soap but decided to leave our soap in the car from now on. 🙂 Not doing laundry enabled us to sit in on the Hawaiian Acres Community Association Board Meeting at 6:30 pm (hence access to WIFI and the post).
Having a Hawaiian Acres Farmers Market is being discussed right now– oddly enough, a controversial issue!
Blessings to all!
