Injured!

Another wonderful day, filled with activity, and relaxation.

I toured the "Baldwin House" on Front street in Lahaina, while Dave did some shopping.

Mary and I at the local hula show
Our condo is in the building that looks kinda yellow in this photo, right on the beach!
The little hula girls





Do not read on if you want only good news.....
We went to a secluded beach for snorkeling,,,,on a wild, primitive path to the shore I fell down and injured my knee and elbow.....not terrible, but embarrassing!

The Banyan tree in Laahina,,, planted in 1873, the single tree spreads over 2/3 acre!

It's raining this morning, but still beautiful. Aloha!

Cooking

Even on vacation, Mary is in the kitchen,,, Shinji bought A LOT of groceries before we got here, take note of the spaghetti noodles on the table....8LBS! That's a lot of food!

Sacrifice me to the volcano

Again, these photos are not in order....

Yesterday, Monday, we drove to the Haleakala volcano. The summit is 10,000 feet above sea level.....
These two photos look more like paintings, this is the cauldera of the volcano,, it looks like a moonscape to me.

Almost a month

It's been almost a month since my last post, lots of things have happened in that time... but mostly I have been just too crabby to blog.
Why spread my bad mood around by blogging? If you don't have something nice to say.....you know how the rest goes...
Oh, no..........
That's all I can say for now.
