ALHOA! another rainy morning, but only liquid sunshine..mist actually..we decided not to go up to see the sunrise on Haleakala, as the weather is not co-operating. So we had breakie in house. Sitting on the lanai, we saw a complete rainbow! After awhile it was gone, then another showed up, then another!! The last one was so cool, it was really low on the horizon, looked like a sunset or something,,,GREAT... Then drove up to Kapalua & hiked the 3.7 mile (each way) around to D.T. Fleming State Park, where a ton of surfers were having a great day. The Trail was very nice and went thru a lava flow that was a nesting area for many burrowing birds. We got caught in a rain storm out here and had to hide behind some big lava boulders..ahah..then thru some boardwalk areas over sand dunes..and finally down thru the Kapalua golf course, by some ancient Hawaiian ruins & burial mounds to the park. Back to the car & dry off for lunch at the Sea House Restaurant at Napili Kai resort. A lovely view of Napili Bay, snorkelers, surfers & the persistent rain. I had the Mahi Cajun seared wraps & KK opted for the stir fry fish & veggies with rice..PDG! Then a short walk to Kapalua to snorkel a couple of times & really great fish & coral today, especially when the sun was out. Back to the room to shower & watch the Pens loose in triple OT & the Thunder defeat the lakers. What's for supper? The Outback Steakhouse down in Lahaina..the 8oz Special with Crablegs for me & KK got a burger & a couple of "Ritas". The weather is supposed to be getting better, but it is paradise ya know. Our Hotlanta friends, The Spears will arrive tomorrow night. In some sad news, My uncle, Bob VanNest, passed away yesterday & I know my mom will be deeply saddened. Also, our good friend Bob Delancey, passed away in Pittsburgh, and he too, will be missed by all.
