Maui Mama, Part 4...Lovely to the End!!

Our visit to Maui draws to a close 
but the memories will linger forever!


 Wednesday, Day 9, Afternoon

Black Sand Beach.  

We needed a 3 hour reservation to enjoy.





Exploring a lava cave along the shore


Skylight!
Lava Formations


WHAT IS IT?
Jim kept seeing some elusive swift critter scurrying in numerous places..
I saw some at the State Park
Mongoose were introduced many years ago to attack rats.  But...rats are nocternal and mongoose are not.  They now enjoy free range during daylight hours!
Red-crested Cardinals
Fruit stand!


Food reserves in the cupboard
 And market

I like the screen door and handle!

Finally, a local lunch at Kilo's food truck

Breaded fish and chicken with macaroni salad and rice 

Goodbye, Hana!  It's been fun!
On to the winding road!


One lane bridge traffic jam!

And hunt for more banana bread!





 Lovely high surf!

Happy campers heading home!


Goodbye, Maui!  It's been awesome!  Hope to return someday!!


    REFLECTIONS 
This concludes my photo story of our 10 day trip to Maui.  It was difficult to pick these out of the 2,000 plus pictures that are on my phone! It's been fun remanencing these past 7 weeks since we've been home. It's time to get on with PNW springtime and enjoy local sunshine, trees, flowers, and warm breezes (before they get too hot).  But Maui time is not totally gone.  I've got a digital photo book to create!  After a  few weeks' mental rest.  And getting outside to clean up my outdoor living space.  And, yes, there is another nearby adventure to blog-brag about!  You all come back soon to find out what. 

This has been a good 2 GeoGram weeks in the life of Gram G.

"Sing to the Lord a new song, sing  his praise from the end of the earth! You who go down to the sea, and all that is in it. You islands, and all those  who dwell on them."  (Isaiah 42:10)
