While on Maui, we stayed in Lahaina, a town of tourism and very interesting history.

Deb got interested in the craft of palm-leaf origami, making cute litte fishes.

Here's James standing with the Lahaina banyan tree. It's a tree with a few dozen trunks, covering the entire town square!

While we were there, we got to see a canoe festival. Tteams from all over Polynesia came to build a canoe from scratch and hold a race.

The view from Haleakala - the House of the Sun. In the disatance is the Big Island.

It was bloody cold at 10,000 ft. above the ocean. James was not happy!

We got a photo after sunrise, with the Science City observatory for backdrop.

Heading to Hana. We saw lots of terrific scenery.

One of my favorite photos - my first black sand beach!

We stopped for a picnic lunch and found that mongooses love to mooch at this park above the beach.

Then, we took a dip in "the Seven Sacred Pools" -- which aren't sacred, and there aren't only 7 of them anyway.

Our first stop after leaving Kahului airport, at a road overlook. Molokini is behind James.

We rented a PT Cruiser. With flames on the side.

shudder!

Stunning sunset were "normal" for this trip...
