We spent this last week enjoying Mau’i with good friends and family.
The highlights of this trip were an attempted trip to Hana (cut short because we got a late start and then ran into road construction) and enjoying the beautiful sunsets from our resort in Ka’anapali.
Found this fun jewelry shop on a lonely road on north Maui and I just had to stop.
P.S. Yes, I know it should be “Smile You’re in Maui.”
Honokohau Bay, Mau’i, Hawaii
The sign says “Narrow winding road next 8 miles.” And it was. This is one of the wider portions, where it’s something like 1½ lanes.
I love little roads like this.
Kahakuloa Bay, Mau’i, Hawaii
… Kahakuloa. A small ocean village in north Maui. Maybe fifty people or so. Very quiet.
It takes miles of winding one-lane road to get here. There was great banana bread. Or so I heard. I wish I had stopped for some.
Love this juxtaposition of the Pacific Northwest and tropics.
Vancouver Monument, Kihei, Mau’i, Hawaii
These blocks are from a reconstruction of a fort built in Lahaina in 1832. The blocks were formed by cutting coral found about 120 feet offshore.
Lahaina, Mau’i, Hawaii
From the photowalk with Peter on our last day on Mau’i. I honestly have no idea what this plant it. Tara said at the time it looks sort of like a mouth (of what, I wonder?), thus the title.
