They're in there somewhere.....
Hilo is an interesting town. There's no getting around it¹. Not only is it the rainiest city in the US², but it also features many other interesting items, such as:
- a sundial (interesting choice, because as it's the rainiest city, it's more often than not cloudy, which therefore means that no one knows what time it is - I have a photo, but who wants to see a photo of a non-functional sundial?)
- a clock (also interesting, as it's also broken and stands perpetually at 1:04 because that's when the 1960 tsunami hit.... We've got a problem keeping time here, it seems)
No one wants to see a broken sundial.
But everyone digs a broken clock.
At least it's right once in a while, yeah?
- It's home to Merrie Monarch, the International Hula Festival, which is unassailably cool.
- And lots of other things I'm sure I'll get around to telling you all about sometime, if I haven't told you about them already.
Now some of you might remember the tedious and long-winded explanation of not only ONE but TWO sets of Hilo Characters.
It's at this point I feel the need to tell you about a couple more.
