Snorkeling wasn't great, the sky was a bit overcast so water visibility was poor and Karen was having problems with the fit of her fins so we packed up and went for a drive to the south end of the Island, past Makena .
The sun broke through and we came back to enjoy the pool and get ready for dinner.
We had invited a nice couple from Alberta, Mark and Darlene.
We had steak fajitas then after too many drinks decided to play Hearts.
I think Mark is a bit of a card shark because he won handily.
We've seen two mongooses here , one ran across the lanai and one was on the back sidewalk.
Someone brought them in many years ago to control rats but now there are too many of them because they have no predators .
Today we drove upcountry which is the area on the upper flanks of the volcano, Haleakala .
Nice drive with great views of the coast and interesting local sights.
Someone put a lot of work into the mailboxes. The one on the far right is a grave for someone caught stealing mail.
Another picture shows that they do hunt deer here!
We stopped at the Surfing Goat Dairy for some cheese tasting, then made our way back down the mountain to sit on our beach.
Tomorrow I'm hoping to go on an outrigger canoe ride with the Kihei Canoe Club and later drive up to a favorite snorkel spot towards Lahaina.
