Maui - Day 6


Yesterday we went snorkeling and saw some cool fish. We hung out on the beach and got sunburned too. We saw some sea turtles and Micah even got to touch one! We got a cool picture of the turtle as it same straight for Micah. We camped on the beach at a place called Olawalu. There were a lot of people there but it was really quiet. We drove back to Honolua Bay but the surf was pretty small so Micah didn't go in. We went to the only brewery on the island, Maui Brewing Company. The food was great and the beer was OK (says Micah, Jaime had a good virgin drink made by the bartender). We met some cool people at the brewpub. After the first couple of days on the trip, we have only been meeting really nice people. We met a couple in Hana that we keep running into. We went snorkeling with them and we camped at the same place as them. They are from one of the San Juan Islands. One guy we met at the brew pub was a displacee from huricane Katrina. Today we packed up camp and went to South Maui. We went to a nature preserve that is the last lava flow on Maui. We went snorkeling there and it was even more incredible than the day before. We saw even cooler fish and a sea turtle. The reef there was healthier looking and more diverse. Tonight we are staying with our friend Elizabeth and tomorrow we will fly over to Oahu.
