  :: Passion Fruit!!!
Ever since I was little, I loved passion fruit. I remember finding wild passion fruit in Auburn and how exciting it was. I remember, last year in Maui, finding passion fruit on the beach and how ecstatic I was. The taste of a passion fruit is just well... passionate ;)

So why is it called a passion fruit... well... I think it is called a "passion" fruit because of the its taste .. a bit sweet and a bit tart... just like a passionate relationship ...

Sigh... memory it brings back with just the smell and the taste of it.

memories...

  :: Trip back to Hana and more...
So today my work day in Maui continues... really it is really for work... I am really not on vacation here :) I am here to work!!! ;) But with that said ... I finally did have some time sort of to myself. So let me tell you .. or whomever is reading this all about it.

So this morning... we headed to Ke'anae to survey another site, so after the survey was completed my coworkers and I decided to travel around the south end of the island and to Hana we go again.

Around Noon, we stopped at this street side bbq place for some Hawaiian BBQ. It was amazing.. and so much food. It's really funny because it was actually in front of someone's house and he just set his grill and some tables and he was cooking for everyone that was there to order. Oh... it was good.

So... I was silly in the head or something... I paid the guy in cash and I asked him for a receipt and...



Do you think my accounting people will like this?? ha ha ha

So after lunch we continued to look for more adventure... I got some fruits from the fruits stands... I love fruits... and I also found some nice waterfalls.

The one thing I forgot was to bring some swimming gear ... so I was in jeans and work boots hiking around in the hot Maui sun.

oh I heard it's really cold in Seattle and in Colorado ... ha ha ha .... sorry guys .. it is in the 70's over here :D

Well... here are the pictures.... enjoy

  :: A work day on Maui
So yesterday was Saturday, but yet I have to work... :) Working in Maui is not a bad thing at all. Working in Maui yesterday meant a trip to Hana. So I've heard stories about the road to Hana saying how beautiful it is and how curvy it is and how everyone is going to get sick on the car ride. With all this knowledge, I decided to be proactive and take some motion sickness medicine just in case. It is a work day after all, and I don't want to get sick.

Well... BAD IDEA... that thing was ok until the afternoon, then I became a zombie...

so much for working on homework last night....

But the trip to Hana was indeed beautiful and I wish I have more time to stop at every little waterfall. Maybe next time...

Well.. enough talk...
here are the pictures ;)

  :: Moloka'i
Returning to Maui makes me feel like coming back to the city.... good god there are so many people. In Moloka'i there are just not that many people .. and you get that small town feel. I like small town feels.

So as promised .. here are the pictures from Moloka'i

  :: Two Days in Moloka'i
So... since yesterday early morning I've been all over Moloka'i. MoloKa'i is an island in Maui County it is North of the Maui Island. The island is not very populated, but it has alot of natural beauty. Moloka'i reminded me of Ephrata and central Washington. If you can imagine lifting up a small town and put it in the tropical setting and surrounded by tropical weather and atmosphere that would be Moloka'i. During my trip here, I have not seen many cars.. it is just so peaceful and quiet it is amazing.

I took alot of pictures, but it hasn't all been uploaded yet. I am sure you will see the rest in my next post.

I don't know if I will have a chance to come back or not... but if I ever want to get always from it all. I know there is Moloka'i.
