Saturday...In Maui....May 17....2008

Only one day left in paradise! Dave and I watched a little Indy 500 qualifying this morning and then went to the beach again. Being a weekend, it was pretty busy. The waves were a little stronger than the last couple times, so we got to watch a surfer do his thing. I have to admire those surfer dudes!

Later this afternoon, we decided to drive to the top of Haleakala Volcano National Park which was a road full of switchbacks and driving through the clouds. We went from sea level to 10,000 ft in a very quick time. It was spectacular up on top looking down through the clouds to the sea and over at all the cones and the crater (see pictures below). We were going to stay for the sunset, but decided to head down for dinner out instead. We both had a great dinner at Stella Blues in Kihei.

Tomorrow, we'll watch bump day at the Indy 500 and then head to the beach again before we come back to pack up for the flight on Monday.

Love and gratitude....Linda
