... lunch at Bubba Gumps; yummy!
Turtles at Ho'okipa Beach. Almost tripped over them before noticing them; they blend right into the surrounding rocks.
On the road to Hana - an absolutely beautiful drive, made even more enjoyable in our rented Mustang convertible. The sights, sounds, smells... so intoxicating!
Lots of lava flows around the island; below is a lava tube we were able to walk through.
We hiked up over a mile to the bamboo forest in Haleakala National Park; very cool to see - very hot and humid experience!
silly pope Richard :) I think he was just trying to revive me with humor - I was pretty spent by the time we got there!
On the way back down - so beautiful!
Our condo in Kihei with me in a spot I frequented during our two weeks there.
The view to the right from our lounges...
... and the view to our left.
One day, there were about a dozen turtles swimming/playing in the crashing waves at the jetty you can see in the distance on this last picture. It's a good thing God made them with hard shells, because those creatures love extreme water sport!
We enjoyed this vacation so much! It took us 40 years of marriage to make it to Hawaii - I hope it won't be our last trip there. We're kinda hooked! :)
