Maui, part 1

so, we took our little trip to Maui on Sunday-Monday. It was really a lot of fun. We were semi-tourist because hubby does know his way around. I actually only had a couple of places I really, really wanted to see, so the time was really ours. So off we went.

I had wanted to go to the lavender farm in Kula. I'd talked to the owner a couple of times at the "Made in Hawaii Festival", so I was anxious to visit. It was so special. A true local company.

the view looking down to the lavender farm...note you can see both sides of the island

one of the many kinds of lavender that they grown and process here. the smell was wonderful!

Hali'imaile General Store. It was closed, but this is really a gourmet restaurant in upcountry Maui.

After lunch in a small (artsy) town Pa'ia, we decided to drive out towards Wailuku and Waihe'e. Hubby said he thought that the road might go around. Looking on the map it showed a road and also described locations out there. so we decided to try. This was so gorgeous! There really weren't too many cars because the road is like this...

this is looking back towards Kahului and Haleakala (under the clouds). This is almost opposite the surf spot "Jaws".

Just a small bay and a very small town on the north west side of Maui.

Molokai from north west Maui. We're actually on the west side of the West Maui Mts.

this is probably why there weren't too many rental cars out here. Oh well
Another little village in far west Maui. There's actually fresh water here and tons of fishing.

I took this pic earilier in the day in makawao. He was just standing there posing for me!
