Enjoying the sunset and wine
|
We took a day snorkel trip to Lahaina
|
Black Sand Beach
(Yes. The sand is actually black because it is crushed volcanic rock)
|
On the road to the Haleakala volcano we drove through the clouds
|
Here I am on the volcano that is above the clouds
|
A local artist from Maui who took the drawing workshop took us to a
secluded waterfall
|
Here he is right before he jumped in!
|
The flowers were amazing. Look at the size of that blossom!
|
Lava field on the road to Hana
|
We found a local goat dairy
|
Here are some of the ladies
|
We met this friendly little fellow...
|
and got to feed him some straw!
|
Another favorite tree on the Hui grounds
|
We took a whale watching tour. Simply breathtaking!
|
We saw a lot of whale tails and blow holes but then...
|
This one breached right in front of us. It was truly an amazing site and
thankfully, my wife was quick enough to catch it on our little point and
shoot camera!
|
While whale watching we spotted some spinner dolphins. These swam along
next to the boat and would occasionally jump out of the water with a
spinning move.
|
At the end of each day, we were treated to Mother
Natures' nightly show
