One of our resident roosters awakened me at 5:45am, late for
me here on Maui. Luckily I didn’t miss
the sunrise. It was another fabulous
vision with the clouds dancing over Haleakala.
After coffee, we noticed red in the clouds that looked like dirt or dust,
but at times more flames in the sky.
Hope one of my pictures got a good view of what we actually saw.
Today we visited the Maui Ocean Center and found it to be a
great aquarium. Thank goodness Crystal
likes aquariums as much as I do. Lots of
great fish to see along with coral, sharks, turtles and rays. I think the most weird fish we saw was the
frog fish. It was camoflagued in with
the coral and took awhile to even see. Since
we arrived right as it opened, we missed most of the shows, but they were
probably more geared for the children.
My headphone died half way through the shark building, oh well.
Lunch was at the Seascape Restaurant. We both got the fish tacos and they were
great, but the view of Maalaea Harbor was the best. Crystal made the comment that we had now
eaten at 3 of the 4 restaurants and by tonight all 4. We really do love this place and it to
continue to be Maui’s best kept secret….. as I tell all of you!! (post
script: just saw on the map that there
is a restaurant called the Maalaea Grill that we may need to add to our list of
restaurants.)
Right next door to the aquarium is the mall where Beach Bums
is. We ate there our first night
here. Upstairs is an Farmer’s Market
& Crafts Fair, so we walked in. Seaglass
earrings, mink seed bracelet and Mango Mandarin lotion, and could have
purchased more….. Many vendors only take
cash so make a note.
My bartending lessons of many
years ago paid off today, I made an island concoction I named Mango Madness:
- A heaping spoon of frozen guava juice
- 2 shots mango juice
- 1 shot vodka (but It might taste good with rum…. We’ll let you know)
- Ice
Blend well and serve in glass. Garnish with fresh island fruit slice.
Dinner tonight will be at the Waterfront Restaurant......
