Christmas Day

So from the Park we now to go Lahaina, Maui which is more northwest city in Maui. Eric choose this next spot for good reasons: close to the port and shopping!!! Also, we learned that there is a small park with a Banyan tree that is connected to all the other trees within that park. It's truly amazing. Sadly though, we weren't able to get pictures to really capture how cool it was.

While in Hawaii, Eric had a very hard time understanding that Christmas Day is very different in Hawaii from St. Louis. First, there is no cold weather. Second, you find it odd to see waitresses with shorts on with garland around their neck. Plus, the town is fully open to your pleasing on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Eric and I got up and ate breakfast located in our hotel. Then we prepared for our whale watching experience. That was also amazing! Here are some pictures!



Whales!

Eric and I went to the beach to play in the water and watch the sunset! The waves were pretty big at times!


Somebody made this amazing sea turtle.

Eric and I also went to Sensei for Christmas dinner. This was also recommended by my student to eat. Hmm..sushi.

Eric ate that. Not me.


Picture of the bathroom in the hotel lobby. Weird, yeah?
