It's 6:35 Hawaii Time, and the sun is just about to peak out from behind Haleakala, the dormant volcano that dominates the Eastern side of the island. Today is going to be beautiful. A high of 84, slight chance of rain, and a consistent breeze here on the windward, northern side of Maui. Perfect.
I'm renting a beater for three days from a cheap place nearby, where "every vehicle comes with ALOHA".
Here's the sun now. I have to take a picture...
Funny how the phone and electric lines somehow become less of an eyesore when something so beautiful lies just beyond.
Yesterday, I met a German traveler named Claus ("Klows", not "clause" like Santa) at the hostel, and together we went out for dinner nearby at a place that hosts an open mic every Monday. The service was terribly slow, but the food was good, and Claus was absolutely thrilled that they had one of his favorite German Heffeweisens, a Bavarian Wheat Beer. We sipped a few and listened to the range of mediocre to brilliant talent, as I pondered learning a few songs to sing. Maybe next week I'll come back and play.
Well, I have to get ready to hike over to the rental place. Today I'm going to go East to Haiku and Pai'a, and on from there to a trail to see four consecutive waterfalls out off the Hana Highway a few miles from the farm where I'll be staying. I also have to get out to some galleries with the hands I brought and stop by DaFactory, the glass studio I came here for.
