Golfing and a-stitching

You know it's going to be a great day when you want outside at 7am 

and 

It's warm with a double rainbow!!!

Today I decided to tag along with Arnold, Bill and Anita golfing.....

 At the Maui Nui Golf Course

 The cart was equipped with GPS 

that 

told you how far to the pin, 

how long your drive was, 

and 

let you order food and have it delivered to your cart!! 

Crazy!!

 

I don't golf but it is the perfect place to stitch!

 

It's quiet, beautiful and comfortable!!

 

 We all got to do what we love...

 In an amazing place!!

The views were stunning...

 You could even whale watch while on the golf course!!

Bill spotted a cat who was friendly as long as you didn't touch him!

 There are a lot of wild cats in Hawaii 

It was a fun morning!

We agave been trying out local places to eat

 

Yesterday was 808 on Main in Kahului

 Ild show you how good...but I was hungry and ate it all before I thought about it!!

Can you imagine wearing this grass bra and skirt??

 

Ild be shedding that bra pretty fast!!!

 

BIll was kind enough to pick a bunch of fresh limes out of a tree for our margaritas 

 

We started with glasses but now we are up to coffee cups!!

Bumming Around Hawaii

We have been everywhere,man....

 

Up the coast and around again...

 

We had to stop at Flatbread Pizza in Paia 

So yummy!!!

 

Maui Ocean Center  in Maalaea .....

just in case we missed some fish snorkelling...

 

I loved the sea horses

 And Octopus

Some days we just grab some buns, cheese and ham....

Who knew...Canadian Bacon in Hawaii!!!

The birds in Hawaii are very tourist friendly....

I have fed them at the beach, at a picnic, even on the boat!!

Stopped at a few quilt stores...

The Maui Quilt Shop in Kihei

Some Glass blowers in Makawao

 

The jellyfish were incredible 

As well as the bowls that looked like chrysanthemum flowers

 

If it's blue....I love it!

I have made sure to stay hydrated through all this exploring...

Lime margaritas help to quench a girls thirst....I was pretty thirsty!! 

Today's lunch was kaluha pork and pineapple pizza 

Arnold had fish tacos

You know....

When in Rome....do as the Romans!!

I am doing my best!

Snorkelling at Molokini Crater

We hired a boat and went snorkelling out in the ocean today

 

Was pretty bobby out there but the fish were incredible!! 

 

On our way back,we got to feed the birds some muffins

 

They could keep up to the boat and land on our hands to eat!

Too cute!!

 

Our captain was really good and incorporated a little whale  watching too! 

(And it wasn't me they spotted!!) 

 

It was another awesome day...

But then again...any warm 85 degree day....is a good day!!

 

Hope it's warm where you are!

Deep Blue Sea

Today was part one of a Maui pass we purchased

It was going down to a reef in a submarine!! 

 

 

 

We have been doing a lot of things lately that were not on our bucket list

So 

We now have an extra page to our 'list'

 

Submarining.....check!!

Ono Organic Fruit Farm

If you have ever been on a vacation with us

 

You will know it's jam packed with adventure

 

We needed to purchase a calendar to keep everything straight!!

This was day one....it's all filled up now!!

We headed up Hana road to the Ono Organic Farm Tour

 

Ono means delicious which it all was! 

This farm grows coffee and fruits

They are off the grid so use solar panels and manual labour 

These are the beans  drying in the sun 

This machine dehusked the beans after they were dried

 

They don't get the dark couloir till they are roasted

I don't drink coffee but Arnold, Joy and Gary said it was delicious

Bananas were growing every where  

We tried ice cream banana and apple banana

There was pineapple, soursaw,jackfruit, papaya, pomelo, tangerine, guava, lichen, Mexican limes

 

These are the remains of my fruit!!!

 

Yummo!!!

I had to keep asking him to tell us how to eat some of these as we had never heard of most of them 

Some you just sucked the seeds and spit out, others you ate the whole thing

 

This was a coconut sprouted which turns the milk inside into a sponge they called candy

 

It was sweet but a weird texture!!

Star fruit...

It was quite the variety to try... 

They also had macadamia nuts

Which you used this little cruncher for!! 

They bring their fruit down each week to sell locally 

It was a great learning and tasty experience!
