Our Home in Hilo



















So this is the house we live in and the street it is on. It is a big, very old plantation style house. They call it that because it is the kind of house that the sugar plantation owners and mangers used to build and live in.

Hilo rains a lot all year. It is strange because it isn't cold, or even cloudy all day, but usually everyday, it rains for awhile. Mostly at night, and sometimes in the afternoon. The reason I am telling you this is because of the porch on our house. It is huge. People spend a lot of time outside and these really big covered porches are great cause of all the rain that is coming down around here.

The two windows on the second floor is where my and Chloe's bedroom is. We can see the bay from them which is about two blocks east or from the picture - on Chloe's side.
