2025 Oct 25 | stray cat bite, Keauhou Farmer's Market, Hilo: Big Island Meadery



A gecko on our balcony.



And two close together on the wall.



Nice sunset.



The app says Planet Fitness isn't too busy now.



Although they only have one each of a few different leg machines, and they're popular, so we still have to get lucky to get on one.



Ogii working hard.



We saw some goats in town on the way home.



Although there are many open spaces around this area; it's not all buildings.



Cruise ship.



Ogii saw a baby gecko by this extension cord.



Climbing up.



Close up.



Climbing down.



On the couch.



Looking at her.



Looking up.



Climbing the sliding door.



A video of it.



Sun setting.



With a spider on the balcony.



Line of color around the clouds.



Waves crashed into Magics Beach Grill. If people had been sitting there, they would have gotten soaked.



A big moth on our screen.



Ogii's a bit scared of it.



I'm trying to measure it with my hand.



It's really big.



And pretty.



I've thought about staying at this hotel in Hilo a few times because it was fairly cheap. Unfortunately, it's now burned down.



At Food Truck Fridays.



Trying BBQ this time.



Lots of meat cooking.



BBQ, cookie, and boba.



This cat showed up on our balcony.



We gave it some milk and meat.



Not coming in, though.



At the Keauhou Farmer's Market.



Breakfast items.



Bread.



Fruit.



I've never heard of a tangor before. Google says it's a cross between a mandarin orange and a sweet orange.



Kona oranges.



I love lilikoi.



And apple bananas.



Live music.



Pretty flower arrangement.



Nice house.



We passed by a garage sale on the way home.



Ogii found some neat plates, although there's only three of them.



Very tropical.



We just paid $3 for each of them, but it looks like they were $1 at a thrift shop at some point.



Eating our breakfast.



From the farmer's market.



The cat is back.



He's got some fur missing and sores in some spots. I wonder if they're from fights or if he's sick.



And then he bit me on the foot. Then, a few minutes later, he bit our neighbor below us, too. Rabies can make an animal appear alternatively lethargic and aggressive, which this cat seems to be.



I walked over to Urgent Care, but they said they didn't have the rabies vaccine, and I should check at the pharmacy.



But when I called the pharmacy, they said there's no rabies in Hawaii and nobody on the island carries the vaccine. Google agrees.



But maybe somebody snuck something on the islands with rabies, and I'll be the first case. I thought about flying to California to get the vaccine, but we have a busy weekend planned.



So I just put some triple antibiotic onto some band aids.



And slapped them over the bites.



Many garage sales and open houses.



Driving over to Hilo, with a nice view of the coast.



There are also goats in the hills.



They like rocks.



And being up as high as they can get.



Someone hit one on the road. You have to watch out, especially at night.



This dark cloud looks like a dragon facing left.



A big cloud that swirls around and seems to actually touch the ground.



Another one with a funny shape.



More clouds in the distance.



It's starting to rain.



Yota.



Horses.



A bright blue house in Hilo.



And a green one.



Funny sign.



And another one.



For the Big Island Meadery.



The front door has honecomb patterns.



And is decorated for Halloween.



Inside.



Pictures of bees.



And a nice one of wine and a glass at sunset.



Drinks on tap.



The tables are cool, with bee and honey facts.



Various items for sale.



Beautiful bar table.



We got a flight.



Of four different meads.



And some bread and cheese.



With three different types of honey.



Ready to dig in.



I don't think that's how you're supposed to drink them.



Uh oh, Ogii slippled on some mud and fell onto the sidewalk. I got bit by a cat and she scraped up her side; it's a day of pain for both of us.
