Today we left the Big Island to fly to Maui. I'm sad that we didn't see a full-on volcano eruption. The forecast is that it might erupt today! And now, writing this at home, they say the fountaining episodes have been increasing in frequency. Now its fountaining weekly!
We are staying at Peace of Maui, a rental house on the island. We like it. We stopped by a beach. I was wearing hiking clothes and hiding in the shade. Everyone else on the beach was in bathing suits. Dian pointed out large sea turtles on the beach. I've seen them swimming a few times but never hanging out on the beach. It had a sad expression but maybe turtles just don't smile. We didn't stay long because it was so hot. I felt like I could only be either in the ocean or in the shade. The water was beautiful though, and we saw many, many sea turtles in the ocean too. No hikes today, but I really needed a rest day after being so hot yesterday.
In the afternoon, I went sketching with 3 members of Urban Sketchers Maui. I contacted them last minute, and they managed to round up a few people to come out sketching with me. This was especially lovely, because I volunteer for the global Urban Sketchers group, and I help new groups become official chapters. I had just started working with this group before my trip.
In the evening, we ate dinner at Ocean Distillery, a place which our house rental owner recommended. We listened to live music and watched a sunset. The location must have had some elevation, because we could see both sides of the ocean from where we were. A nice relaxing way to finish off the day.
