seven sharks a swimming. .. . . .

Eight a.m. found the two of us still asleep! After our apple banana and shredded wheat breakfast I called my Dad. It is great to still have a living parent (and New Mother.) The time is 5 hours difference and we keep missing the window of opportunity.
Keawakapu Beach was a fine choice as far as Kihei beaches go. We met Earl and Evelyn , because we wanted to share the shade of our palm tree. . . . Then the Hawaiian police arriced on ATVs with foghorns, announcing, "Everyone out of the Water, there has been a shark sighting!. ." We watched the drama unfold. Then packed it up, home to shower and dress for lunch at Wailea Gold Golf Course. Dan chooses the Kalua Pork and for me, the spinach salad with baked pear, blue cheese and carmelised mac nuts. Yummy!!!
We ran by the Kihei, Maui, Hawaii Post office to mail a few birthday greetings.
Then to Ma'alea. There is an art gallery featuring Ken Loyd, a super fun artist. My art needs a kick start ( no violence intended,) just an inspiration to begin. This island is all about "FINE" everything and I admit to being intimidated. (Smile. . .)
We bought a print of Ken's that reminded us of Kauai.



Sharing a Maui Pineapple ice cream, we cooled our jets as the winds picked up. I have the beach bug now. I want to live in a swimsuit for the next five days. Dan dropped me off at the Kamaole I Beach while he shopped for a few staples. (Coffee, scotch, jalapeno, onion, garlic, greens, and basil.) There are no farmers markets down South. We found a yard table on the way home selling mangoes for a buck. Now we can make salsa for the grilled chicken breasts.
This little sail boat was afloat off the beach. And you'll see another sunset scene.
We vever tire of these. Love to All, Susan and Dan
