Waterfalls
The Kona side of the island of Hawaii where we stayed is very dry. The amount of rainfall here is about the same as in Boise, a measly 11 inches per year. The weather is perfect for lots of lazy afternoons by the pool or on the beach. Some call it 'eternal springtime'. When you cross to the other side of the island, the Hilo side, things change dramatically. Hilo gets about 130 inches of rain per year - that is more than 10 feet of rain. Rainy Portland only gets about 43 inches per year.
