Occasionally Adventurous: Day Two, Maui.

We packed in a lot on day 2. I don't have time to do narrative between individual photos, but here's a summary and some highlights.

We had a leisurely breakfast of pineapple, papaya and mango on the lanai, with Kona coffee. I discovered the camera malfunction, called a camera dealer. We had expected to feel sluggish, but both of us had lots of energy. We headed up country, taking highway 30 to 36 to 37 going north. We decided to head first to the farthest point for the day, Tedeschi Winery and the Ulupalakulua Ranch Store. The store has kitschy souvenirs and a lunch grill. We had ranch raised beef burgers on the wide porch with a mix of locals and tourists. We then walked across the street to the winery tasting room and tasted some mostly medoicre wine. We did like the Maui Blanc and brought a bottle back to the apartment. On the way home, we spent a pleasant hour at the Alii Kula Lavender Farm.

After a brief respite back home, we headed to the Old Lahaina Luau. We were early, and had some time to people watch. We were close to the front of the line, so had mai tais in hand by the time we were seated. We opted to sit rather than wandering the grounds. We had seats in the back, but could see very well. Unfortunately my backup camera doesn't do night well at all, so my photos are limited. The food was plentiful and pretty good. The show was authentic and enchanting. Lots of chant and drums and hula. The chanter was excellent and so were the dancers. At the end, those of us celebrating an anniversary or a honeymoon ended up dancing on the sand. A great end to a wonderful day!

I'll caption the photos below so you know what they are.
