What a beautiful day of riding down a bending road to the East end of the island of Maui...to the little town of Hana. There were waterfalls and amazing views around every corner. We really enjoyed swimming in these "sacred" pools located 20 minutes further down the Hana hwy (just before Charles Lineburg's grave) followed by a long and tough hike literally up the mountain to see some spectacular waterfalls. Caroline, Calum, and Kiah made the 2 mile trek all the way to the 400 foot monster at the top. Chloe, Katherine, and I turned back about half way up....but we did see several wonderful sites. we left at 7am and returned to eat at McDonalds in Pukelani at 8pm. What a day. It is hard to believe that we are now in our last week here. It will be over before we know it.
On a parish note, I thoroughly enjoyed a birthday visit to parishioner Althea Cruze who lives at the Kula Hospital. I took Katherine, Calum, and Kiah and they enjoyed a Monday morning of activities which included lincolnlogs, bead sorting, and some good conversation with the older residents of the hospital. I think everyone had a blast. Heather's name came up with several of the staff who send their love and look forward to see her back here in Maui.
I will try and upload some photos of the trip to Hana tomorrow.
Aloha. Kris+
