The Many Colors of Hawaii

From

Howard and I took a long walk this morning and walked for about an hour. The weather was gorgeous, hot actually. We decided we'll walk earlier tomorrow to avoid some of the heat. It's so strange to know that even though it's November, it's bathing suit weather here. It's bathing suit weather here everyday!

Hawaii has some of the most beautiful, fragrant flowers imaginable so I took my camera with me on our walk. I thought I'd share some of the many colors of Hawaii with you.






Maui is a tropical island and does get its share of rain, but I'm still always amazed by how green and lush it is. The colors are so vivid, especially the ocean with it's many shades of blue. Everytime I visit here I'm struck by it's beauty and reminded of how God created it all, heaven and earth. Thinking about all that God created leaves me completely speechless and in awe of His power and goodness.

Howard and I have a routine. When we arrive in Maui, I stay curbside with the luggage and he takes the shuttle to the car rental office. Yesterday he showed up with this hugh SUV...for the 2 of us! After talking it over, we decided to turn it in for a smaller car. We tried to get a convertible but they were all taken. Anyways, Howard asked the sweet girl if they could at least hose off the bird poop that was on the new car we were getting. She said sure and went out to talk to someone about it...


We got just what we asked for. This nice guy literally hosed down the car. That's Hawaii for you, very low key and kick-back. The perfect place for a relaxing vacation!

Aloha!
