The week of the big waves on Maui continues. Record waves have cut down on snorkeling time and minimized beach time as well. On our morning walk we had a fun thing happen. Along the way, a little Egret made friends with us. Dubbed "Charlie", this little guy poked along with us, grazing on lizards. He would go up to a bush, cock his head to one side and then another. Quick. He was so quick when he spotted a tasty little morsel. Quick to nab his breakfast meat. Quick to show us his catch before quickly devouring something that would seem to be so much quicker than a long necked bird. There's only a few things that slow down the Birch's when on a quest to train for a triathlon, well maybe just one....cuteness. So thanks to Charlie for allowing us to catch up with our friends and catch our breath.
After our morning walk, triple mocha, a yummy breakfast by Suzie, and a quick apartment cleaning, we decided that south Maui was calling. It was a good decision. We found a beautiful beach. The sun was hot and the water perfect. The waves were a bit rowdy but we got a few frolics in before relaxing in the sun.
Eventually our hunger won out and we headed for town to find a lunch place. Grant had said he wanted to eat at Panda Express for lunch. Low and behold, we actually found one. Lunch was good and we headed north.
After almost getting thrown out of a t-shirt store by the giggles and laughing of this small crowd, we arrived back to our home area. Good day. And as Suzie explained "Grant and Bill are now friends".
Aloha~
