Travels - Mar in Maui

Pictures as promised

The last hurrah, etc.

They took a tourist train ride to see the country around Lahaina.


They saw pineapple fields - the true gold from Hawaii.
They found a sculpture garden while on one of the road trips.
And what is with all the chickens. These are special chickens. They are wild chickens. Here is the story. When the Europeans arrived in the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii), many of the natives died of the European diseases because they had no immunity. Well, almost all of the native birds also died. But nature abhors a vacuum and there was a place for birds. Chickens became the new wild birds of Hawaii. Mar says they are everywhere.
We desert people like to say we have cacti - but this is some sized yucca in Hawaii.

So now we say good-bye and good night to this marvelous adventure. (Can you believe this picture - just like a postcard.)
Goodby Hawaii. Goodbye Maui. Mar wants to come back some day.
