Angela Casale

March 1, 1995

Hi! This is Angela Casale, student Argo from Minnesota. Today is the 3rd day we've broad cast, and the 5th day I've been in Hawaii. Everything is so cool down here. The people especially . So far I've worked with the Hawaiian fruit fly, with technology, and today, I rode on the helicopter!!!! It was such an amazing experience!!! The sights were incredible and the feeling you got when you were in the air were indescribable. I saw a sky light in the lava tube, and in that sky light, I saw the red lava flowing with steady conviction. The whole experience was sort of a wake up call to who's really in charge of the Earth; nature or us.

I had my first Live interview today! WOW!! It was pretty fun. It was sort of scary though. Also, I wore my sunglasses all day, and now just the tip of my nose is burnt! It looks pretty funny with half my nose white, and half of it red. Oh well, it'll get better.

Some other things that went on today were:

• The lava spilled all over, and this morning when it was dark, it put on quite a show.
• I got to go up in the chopper.
  Check out Angela's shots of:
  1. The inside of the chopper
  2. The helicopter pilot
  3. Tom Zane, the chopper photographer
• We used a telescope to spot sun spots and like always, this day was filled with a whole bunch of fun little experiences.

Well, considering that my day starts at 2 o'clock am, and it's 10 o'clock pm, I think I'd better sign off and say

" GOODBYE FOR NOW. SIGNING OFF FROM HAWAII, THIS IS ANGELA CASALE"
