snow... in hawaii?

i saw it with my own two rainbow shaped eyes... i saw snow in hawaii! so my friend peter took me up to mauna kea the other weekend, the tallest volcano in hawaii (it rises 32,000 ft from the ocean floor) and mauna kea literally means "white mountain" in hawaiian. when youre up that high, you get kinda loopy... weeeee... there was no sunrise we could rave about that morning but heck... there was heaps of snow. it was a blessing that we got to go up to the summit cause on our way down, they closed off the road because of the snowstorm! so im glad we went (thanks pedro) and that i got to see just another piece of this mysterious beautiful big island of hawaii...
