pahoehoe
This Hawaiian word means lava that flows smooth like rope but sounds silly when you try to say it out loud with friends.
The smooth rock on the beach is a pahoehoe and it feels soft under your feet after a long hot day of walking.
We hiked up the hill to see the ropy lava flow that locals call pahoehoe and it looked like giant silver snakes moving slowly.
Can you guess what this smooth stone is? It is a pahoehoe from Hawaii and it tastes like sweet earth when you touch it.
