Erica's parents arrived last Sunday for eight nights with us here in Maui. We weren't sure they would enjoy our Hawaiian bach, but they seem to have settled right in! Along with their arrival there has been consequently more drinking, cigar smoking, less morning runs....it is like we are finally on holiday! Which brings us to eating...
Thank god for Mexican! We found a great neighborhood joint in a small town upcountry, Makawao, with a great happy hour and fantastic food. Of course, Erica's parents don't settle for any old Margarita, it was straight to the top shelf variety with grand marnier, yum. We were celebrating Tom's 60th birthday, although I think we quickly forgot there was a reason beyond the margaritas. Pork tacos to follow, $2.50 each, a meal in itself. They also do $5 one pound lunch burritos, $20 fajitas for 'two' (looks like plenty enough for 4!) and $5 fully loaded nachos. We will definitely miss this when we get home!
A north swell picked up this morning stirring up the ever calm ocean from the past few days, although the surf was affected - by WIND! It wasn't consistent, a bit gusty but it will most certainly do. First sail in over two weeks with some decent waves as well. Sunset down at the end of the road has been turning it on recently, with turtles popping up all over the place. We even noticed a couple fins on the horizon at one point....
Tom and Linda are relaxing and enjoying Maui life. The sunsets and turtles are becoming a standard evening affair. We have been snorkeling twice - Honolua Bay and Wailea - with great results just off shore. Turtles, octupus, a shark, a manta ray, loads of fish and coral. Once the ladies mastered the gear, we were set! Attractive as always....
