Refuge



Day 2- We went to the Puuhonua O Honaunau National Park to see the historical sites and then went snorkeling and what do you know! We see a turtle but not snorkeling but in the National Park basking in the sun on the beach!







Social Studies-A sacred refuge built in the 1500’s where people who broke kapus (laws) could seek refuge by asking the priest. If they were caught they would be killed by their families.



Science-Today we saw another sea turtle and saw lots of new birds. The birds were the Hawaiian Creeper, Apapane and the Kalij Pheasant.

Jackson,
I remember a turtle on the beach this size when my dad was teaching me how to swim in Florida, 44 years ago.
