_11/25/10_ Cairn Hawaii Day 6 Happy Thanksgiving! Although not traditional and not with family, we had a delicious meal at a nearby place called Kaleo's. I highly recommend it if you're ever in the Pahoa area.  Earlier in the day we travelled back to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and hiked the Kilauea Iki trail that takes you down into a frozen lava lake that was molten just 50 years ago during the 1959 eruption. It was pretty amazing to see and walk across. For those who don't know, a cairn is a pile of stones that some nice person stacked up to mark a trail. Since many of the trails here are across flat lava, they come in handy. We also explored the Thurston lava tube and checked out the steam vents before driving all the way to the Mauna Kea visitor's center to watch the sunset, which was awesome. More Hawaii Photos!
