Hawaiian Cowboys

We played at being "paniolos" today. Paniolo, we've learned since landing here, is the Hawaiian word for cowboy.

We headed to Na'alapa Stables, high up on the green grasslands of the big island's northern tip.

For almost three hours we rode through endless fields and herds of cattle. And we also stared in wonder at the blue blue sea as it melded into the sky. It seemed as if the two met somewhere out there well below us.
