Today started off with rain during our morning run. Yes, the exercise comback continues. Between snorkeling, hiking and running, I feel that this has been a much needed active vacation. In order to escape the rain, we jumped in the Jeep and headed south to Kihei for snorkeling. We stopped by Maui dive shop and rented in snorkel equipment for the week and began looking for beaches. Anywhere along the road, you can stop and jump in the ocean. There are lots of roadside parks and it isn't unusual to see 4-5 cars randomly parked with people swimming, surfing, or snorkeling.
We snorkeled in the waters of Kihei. Once again, it was like swimming in an aquarium with lots of butterfly fish, pinfish, and even the elusive sea turtle. He swam around Heather and I, getting as close as 10 feet away. He made one big circle around us, surfaced for some air, and then headed back into the lava rock. What an awesome experience!
On our way back, we did some some shopping and stopped for a shaved ice. What a great idea! Put some flavoring on shaved ice, charge $3-4 for it and it is instant fun. Spice it up with ice cream and coconut milk and you begin to fall in love. I am beginning to think that life would be much better in Grand Haven if they served more shaved ice!
Our anniversary dinner was at the Hula bar in Lahaina followed by some more shopping at the Whalers Market. Good food and drinks was a perfect ending to our anniversary.
