The Island of Maui
























































On the Island of Mauri, we drove fifty miles of curves as we traveled along the cliffs that bordered the beaches of white, brown or black sand to Hana. The jungle foliage, flowers and waterfalls were magnificent. We saw red and yellow birds whose feathers are attached to the instruments the hula dancers use. It surprised us to see ducks and chickens running wild in state parks.

Terry and I went on a glass-bottomed boat and saw Spinner Dolphins, colorful small fish and coral reeves. Humpback whales and baby humpback calves were so close to the lookout parking spot that we could hear their tails and fins splash as they hit the water.

I see you got awesome photos of the whales breaching, thank you so much for sharing, as I missed seeing that very sight out of my cabin window.

Hugs, Sharon
