3/2 -- Is it me, or did the weekend just fly past? Sunday, we decided to behave like tourists and drive around the western side of the island. It is the third time for both and as we looked into one another's eyes we gushed that it is the third time we have done this together. I then realized we were driving alongside a steep cliff and all eyes must be kept on the road. All eyes? Yes! How else will I know if I need to yell stop and step on the imaginary brake?

One of my favorite stops was Nakalele Blowhole, Maui.

Interestingly enough, we drove past it at first. On the first pass, it looked like a slightly crowded lookout location. Why stop here when plenty of lookouts are almost empty, I thought? When I couldn't get the right angle on a photograph, we turned around. 

As I stood gazing around at the view, I noticed two people snorkeling in the very clear blue water, whales breeching just a few hundred yards offshore, some wild looking rock formations below and a whale blowing on land. Huh? Time to back up. Ahh! This is why everyone stopped here. A blowhole.
