On the way from Lahaina to Kihei after lunch we stopped for another cache at an old historical site (Hekili Point) where the sugar industry began on Maui.\u00a0 The cache was called Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch.\u00a0 It was a virtual so we had to find information and email it to the cache owner.\u00a0 It was interesting especially since there was a walkway or levee that went out from the land and put us closer to the waves!<\/p>\n
Joyce discovered that her ancient Tevas were disintegrating while doing this cache.\u00a0 We decided to return to the Birkenstock store in Kihei to get some replacements since the sales person was so helpful getting Gary fitted with new Tevas.<\/p>\n
But on the way, we hoped that we would be able to get some hui\u00a0hui chicken from the roadside vendor that we’d seen on the way to Lahaina this morning.\u00a0 Yes indeed, they were still selling chicken at 3 PM.\u00a0 We got some for dinner later tonight.\u00a0 Then off to the Safeway to get one last bottle of wine to go with dinner and also found another local beer to try.<\/p>\n
While enjoying the beer on the lanai, our next door neighbor (Toni)stopped by to chat and gave use some Hawaiian history.j\u00a0 One thing led to another and we discovered that her husband Greg was a wealth of information on the Big Island. We got out a map and they gave us some really great suggestions for our stay on Hawaii.<\/p>\n
As we were preparing dinner, Toni offered us some of the Portuguese soup she had prepared and some guava bread to go with it.\u00a0 That and the hui hui chicken and the small pizza we had left over made a great “mixed plate” for dinner!<\/p>\n
What a great evening!<\/p>\n
